Looks good, I guess? Never done that stuff before.

That coffee you are drinking looks NASTY!
I don't think you made it right.

I like my coffee thick

It was a cheap mixing bowl that I could mix part resin part body filler in. This way it smoothed out much easier and it is a little harder then just plain body filler. Takes more sanding effort but it was only a little patch so I sacrificed.

As far as logos go...you could do the obvious and do the word ford in the ford script, the blue oval with ford on it, just a simple F-150 in the same script as your exterior badges. You could design your own logo based off whatever personal things you desire (kinda like a sig on here) or the name of the truck (if its named)

Thanks guys, I don't really have any pictures of things to show all I really got done was more layers of fiberglass I want to build this one up 15 to 20 layers. I did make progress and I got the big 3 upgrade done however. So I will hopefully have pics up later today, of the bottom half of this console build. stay tuned

It's looking SWEET thus far. No matter how I prepare or what brand of resin or mat I use my glassing always looks like a mess. Good job.

Thanks, I like using evercoat products. I think the biggest thing is just to make sure all the air bubbles are out, they compromise the strength of the build. You can always trim that is the best part.

Well I did not get very much done this weekend with traveling for Easter, I will get the pictures I have uploaded tomorrow morning. I won't be able to work on it tonight either, but Tuesday I have reserved to get some major progress made. I am hoping to try and get all the layers of mat down on both pieces so I can focus on getting them bonded together.

After each layer I end up sanding the bubbles out before the next.

That works too, I just us a rubber roller (like the ones used for laying wallpaper) and they work great then you don't have to worry about sanding between layers.
