Coast to Coast
I'll have to look later tonight. The tires on it are shitty "vintage style". I have a set of avon roadriders waiting to go on.

With curves as sharp as a fender, when you lay fiberglass, lay it in strips as wide as will make the curve, imagine the bands in a tire (V's comming together heavily overlapping, going toward the rear tip) You'll have the sturdiest, straitest piece you can make from the resin and glass without a vac mold. Extra resin and gel coat will fill in the ridges. make sure to use plenty of resin. The edges you trim should be atleast 1/16 inch thick and very solid, trim with some sort of saw or it'll chip (no shears). Layering resin creates weak spots. If a piece is pored all in one batch, it's the strongest. Fiberglass Resin Gel (green stuff, turns brown when mixed with hardner) is another product I think you might enjoy working with. It's like waterproof bondo that adheres better and doesn't sag as bad when applied to verticals. It basically works like people wish Bondo did, but nobody buys it because it costs more.
