J j0rdy1995 New Member Apr 13, 2010 #8 Thanks. I think to this point, I worked a couple of hours to it. Here are some updated pictures
S Spartan5511 Jr Member Apr 13, 2010 #10 Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product. Are you gonna put a visor into it?
J Jay123way Jr Member Apr 13, 2010 #11 Looking good. What did you use to harden it? And yea some bondo work would really smooth those edges out.

J j0rdy1995 New Member Apr 14, 2010 #12 I dont think i go smooth out those ridges. I think it looks pretty good. I used alabastine resin and fiberglass to harden it.
