Default New Wheelpants.. Total glass newbie..

Hey guys-

We recently picked up a set of the pressure recover pants from vans and some fairings for the pants..

We have been thinking about letting a local guy have a go at it, however, he seems pretty busy with other items, so we have been contemplating giving them a go ourselves..

We (my father and I) have never dealt with ANY fiberglassing on anything for the most part.. I've done some fiberglassing on r/c models but nothing to serious..

Anyway, Just wondering what the group thought the level of difficulty this would be? We are both pretty mechanically inclined, just looking for some thoughts from those of you who have done this sort of thing..

Gotta start somewhere, right?

Thanks!

Jeff

there are several sites out there with good info on this. it is fairly easy to do and the learning curve is straight forward. (for mechanically inclined folks)
these two were my favorite . its really pretty simple but a bit messy
