Re did the wire tuck, looks a lot better. had to add to one and trim the other two.
And here are a few pics of the finished product.

My newest project, one year in the making. Kinda, I started it last year and then scraped the original design. I've been working on this for a few month off and on.

I think the previous attempt looked better. However, for the amount of work you put into it, why didn't you just mold it in and make it 100% flush?

Attaching it was the problem with the previous version. You got to remember i'm making this out of my shed. I don't have a shop or the tools needed. Just making due with what I have.

I will be making more of these since the mold I have will hold for a several more. I will continue to refine it and maybe I could get it flush. This is the first project I've done with fiberglass. I can only improve. I do have a few other items I want to do.
