Hi, I saw some very nice interior in fiberglass and I would like to do the same in my Cavalier.
I will do it with Primer filler everywhere I can but where there`s is vinyl, I can't. There`s is vinyl on the dash and on the top of the door panel, where actually you also cant change the fabric.
I would like to know if someone have picture and a kind of how-to do the dash and the door panel in fiberglass. I know how to make fiberglass, but I don`t very know the steps to do it in a cavalier (1995, 3rd gen, 2 door...).
I want my door panel to look like JFORCE1 and Z2FLip4 door panels. I know Jforce1 didn`t have vinyl on the top. I also saw that he removed the fabric into the door panel.
Here is a picture: (Jforce1 door panel).

If JForce1 read my msg, I would like to know if he can show us pictures of is interior done and install in the car.
Sorry for my english. I hope you understand my problem.
Thank you very much

14. How do I fiberglass my interior?
Well, I'm still learning myself... So, I'm a newbie at that kind of thing and hence am probably a bad source for information, but there are all sorts of places to learn online.
http://web.njit.edu/~cas1383/proj/main/ and
http://www.fibreglast.com are both really nice sources of information. In short, what you need to do is the following:
1. If you're making a mold for say, a sub box, prep the area with masking tape/aluminum foil. This is absolutely imperative if you're working around areas that you don't want fiberglass everywhere, such as if you're making kick-panels and don't want resin all over your carpet!
2. Pre-cut and layout your mat/cloth in the area you want it.
3. Mix hardening catalyst with fibreglass resin.
4. SATURATE the mat with your resin/hardener mixture. Be sure to remove as many/all of the air bubbles as you work. Air bubbles = create a weak final product.
5. Recoat as necessary. It's not necessary to allow time to dry between layers.
6. Sand. Paint. Admire. Gloat. Brag. Move onto next fibreglass project
