Re: Where is everyone?
I knew it had been a while but didn't think it's been that long, I guess a major sidetrack.

Bill, Winona was a blast, it was good seeing you and your son's! I hadn't lake boated in a long time it was so nice to just kick back and have some fun. I hope to do it again next summer.

Re: Where is everyone?
Well just to keep things rollin',....here's some foam shaping and fiberglassing. It's not a boat but maybe the process will help someone with a boat project.
Since I posted earlier on this thread, I put on a 6" lift . 3" suspension ($152.00) 3" body ($150.00) and some 33x 12.50x 15 on centerlines ($400.00).
This year Toyota has wide axles and the tires stuck out 4 1/2" from the fenders. Flares were in order....
I decided to make a raised hood panel. Got the idea from a Ford Ranger. Felt the hood was too smooth.... plus a 350 chevy may go in sometime.
I weighted it down to hold the curve of the hood and glassed the perimeter.
I sanded in the body line.
After glassing the top, I weighted a strip of formica to keep the body line crisp.
Cut strips of 2" thick foam for flare lip.
Hot glued on fender lip.
Found the shape I liked.....
And cut 70+ with a Formica template and a jigsaw. (about 28 per fender)
Hot glue...
Fill the voids... and you have one flare ready to fiberglass.
I should have all the flares done by Sunday and a roof visor and Road Armor style bumpers will be next.
