Re: Repairing cracked fiberglass top

I got tired of working on the hatch, so started on the top. I think I'm through with the major cracked/missing areas so it's time to start sanding now. The fiberglassing was actually kind of fun...at least the learning something new part. I've gone through lots of disposable gloves the last few weeks!
I had some tread plate left over from making my sidepanels, so cut two strips off. I will use these over the lip of the top (to sandwich the fiberglass between the truck & plate. Figured this would spread out the stress instead of it being so much pressure around each hole and as a plus it'll match the panels!
Gonna try to get through this weekend so it can be at the body shop to get covered with bedliner early next week. Maybe the next pics will be completed & installed.
