I just finished up my first attempt at fiberglassing. Made myself an A-Pillar pod mod. I think it went well considering I have never used fiberglass before now.

I used a crappy "universal fit" pod set for a mold and built them up so a guage would actually fit in them.

I can't imagine taking away that left hand vent... Other than that, it looks sweet! You've got some talent there!

Well on the car there is a small little vent on the top of the dash directly above that vent that is supposed to defrost the side windows. I still always use my two front vents right by the windows and point them at the windows so that they will stay clear in the winter.

If I used those I'd never be able to see out the side windows

I remember the winters in Edmonton and if I lived there still i wouldn't have covered it up. I live in a somewhat warmer climate now thank christ so that little vent will do ok. I never did have those vents going in the winter as I find the warm air in the face dries out my eyes. As far as talent goes prolly 50% talent 50% sheer persistance.

;D

Besides the defrost for windhield throws enough air up and out for me.

But in the summer those front vents are a god sent when it is 35C above and the A/C is needed.
