HEY REEL,

You got any pics of your seat boxes? I know you have a camera. ;)

Reel has twin 40 gallon fuel tanks under his seat boxes, which was a good idea IMO.

RB - just think if you had 80 gallons you would only have to fill up like 2 times each summer!

;D

Medium density fiberboard, oil based clay, bondo, and PARTALL wax is what I use to make the one off molds (molds that are design to use ONLY once).

Those seats are just simple boxes very easy to layup. Just use mat and 18oz on the flat surfaces and do all the edges with 1708 tape or 1.5 oz mat. I'd also core the flat areas with 1/2" marine ply squares or some type of foam.

RULE #1 => ONLY use rollers to apply resin on fiberglass mat.
