okay, so my camera s*** out on me, so i'll have to explain, since i have no pics...
what i did was taped the entire glovebox, then i layed down some resin to form a bottom shell.
once cured, i hot-glued a tv frame into that base, then i stretched a tee-shirt onto that, once it was set, and dry.
after that, i kept laying down resin, and then i got to sanding...more pics to come, i fixed the camera issue!

Update*
okay, so far this is taking patience i am yet aquiring. "hurry up and wait" is the best way i can think to describe it.
on with the show:
okay, so i have spent about 2 more hours sanding, and reforming the angles to make it sit right in the glovebox.
this shows the rear of the whole thing, not be be seen once final install happens, but necessary to fitment in the glovebox.
here you can see a dowel rod holding the monitors' frame in place, i need to fill this side in with bondo-glass, or bondo.
the side that will recieve a volt gauge, 2 1/6"...also needs to be bondo'd smoother, and further sanded down.
more updates as they occur...

a special thanks goes out to the president of VIVID IMAGES car and truck club. Mike Baker has done most of the work, and basically taught me everything i know (in a week) about fiberglassing anything.
more updates pics to follow, as soon as i do some sanding on the first bondo-glass coat.

Update:
layer of bondo-glasss, sanded the high spots down, and got a more contoured shape to it.
next update should include the volt gauge location, and cutting off the front edge, and shaping it.
thanks for viewing.
