I'm not sure if you'll come right with this, but if you want to see the most professional and demanding fibreglass moulding, then go to the company at Sebenza, Edenvale, who make and manage amusement park rides./ Gold Reef City e.t.c. Real pro.

What type of mod do you require? Adding dumps, blisters and vents is relatively easy to do if you know how to work with glass. :lol:

Where you building? I'm located in the south of JHB (Kibler Park) I will gladly come assist you as long as you're not a 100 miles away. :) If you can build an aeroplane then you can learn to work with glass, it's easy once you learn the basics. :wink:

Alternatively you can contact Peter Eick (0829535488) and he will do it for you.
