How long do you plan to have your car down? You're just using fiberglass correct? Isn't there a resin you're supposed to mix with it so it's flexible and won't crack when you're done?
Anyhow, good job on doing something different.

The blue tape you're using is painter's tape. Are you sure that works well with the resin of the fiberglass? How can you insure that you're going to get a good pull when you're done. Did you lubricate the layer in between the blue tape and the fiberglass resin?

man don't let the haters get to you! these things take time.... its not something that you can start and finish in a couple hours. i am so impressed that you acutally undertook this! most people don't even work on their own cars let alone build their own parts. keep up the good work and i can't wait to see thie finished product!

I think the reason most of us old retirees...lol...are so anxious about what you're doing, is because your "progress" pix don't show much progress. If you would have done the thread with the end product already done, then we could have given you the props, that hopefully you'll get when you're done.
