Glad to see you are full of motivation. You are starting at a good age. My question.....why learn fiberglassing? You would do much better learning mechanical work, such as engine, brakes and suspension. That is where you will save money on repairs, and make money helping others.

Just my opinion............

My plans are just to work at it for a while and then go buck wild on the interior of my car and do up some kick panels etc etc.. I just wanted to get a little feedback from anyone learning or knows how to fiberglass. How hard do you think this skill is to learn? How hard is it to make round corners etc? And any other tips/tricks/hints etc that you could give me to get started on the right foot would be greatly helpful as I am an 18 year old with alot of motivation and the will to learn.
