Hi Mark,

Since I do fiberglass work I'm following this thread with some
interest.  I know you probaly have some good local help or even
yourself, but if I can help with any timesaving ideas on getting what
you what accomplished I'll try to help as  I'm currently taking the
building composite plugs, molds and parts phase of  my shipwrights
apprentice ticket, so I'm at least up on how they do it here in Canada.

I'm also looking at some Fiberglass Mods:
A type transmission/dash Unit w or w/o a center console.
Enclosing the van underneath somewhat and possibly with in addition to
the Carat body side panels.
Joining the composite front bumper with the Carat air dam. mainly for
adding some lower light mountings.
