Atic,

looks like its coming along nicely! When you get it all done, just sand it down alot and apply a lot of body filler to make it nice and smooth and itll look great,

Everything into place:

Notice only the black panel as the rest is still temporary...

Thanks to zx3chris

Looks like it is pretty hard to make the vynal form to the right shape

Yep...hard to do so i needed 2 pair of hands and a haird dryer to make it easyer..

Great tutorial. Thanks for that.

I just have one question. I have a box built of MDF and I was wondering if fiberglassing the outside would be something worth doing? It's the first box I've ever built and it has a few small gaps.

If the gaps are not more than 1/8" you can use body filler in them and glass over it.

Thanks for the great advice. I think that's going to be my fix.
