I haven't begun anything yet. If you look at the entire thread, I've taken pics of the additional areas where I'm going to expand the factory recesses in order to get more airspace wherever possible. I've never fiberglassed either, but I've watched and have gotten some advice from a buddy in Seattle who's done it. He suggested that after I cut out the additional areas I wanna expand, that I take pieces of fabric (old t-shirts) the stretch and staple or spray glue them in place to the form that I want, then resin the t-shirt fabric. After it cures to the form that I want, then I need to add one last layer of fiberglass mat over my patches of even the entire box to reinforce the t-shirt patches along w/ the entire enclosure itself. Its going overboard compared to what KidSquid did to his, but I figure it'll stiffen the plastic enclosure, be good practice (for something i'll probably never do again) and i'll get more airspace.
