Answer 1

Unless you have done this before, it is a hard job.

You will have to lay like plastic over the entire mustang and then actually cover it all in fiberglass. Many layers to make it strong.

Or you can build wood molds and fill them with plaster, lay each panel into the mold to give form, then come back and layer the fiberglass in that way to create individual panels.

My dad and bro do drag racing and their sponsor is a big car builder. Dad helped them do a full carbon body mold on a 32 chop top. It took a crew of 5 men over a week to do this 1 mold.

Answer 2

oh hell its easy I done it myself in a weekend ! You just get yourself and old 66 mustang even rusted out is ok the basic shell and prepare your fiberglass lots of it make sure you clean the shell very well then you put in a ventilated place and use your protective mask and not open flames or electronices. Safty first ! then you just pour that crap all over it and wait a few days and take it off and theres your mold. Then you use that mold to make as many fiberglass parts as you need .
