Steve,

Regarding someone using these molds at some future date, I have seen
what was called a "Chop Gun" used to spray chopped glass fiber and resin
into molds for rapid production work in fiberglas molding operations.
The process reduces layup time significantly. I don't know about the
strength of the pieces molded this way. Probably not  suitable for boat
hulls or airplane wings, but given that no significant structural stress
would be on a camper shell the precess may work well.

Just thought I would pass this info along.

Though I am not a candidate to take on these molds, I would sure hate to
see them lost to the Vanagon world. Hopefully someone will take them and
use them.

Regards,
