This is a first in the history of the Ghostbusters Fans Shop. We have professional “Particle Accelerator” fiberglass hero shells available by special order. Each shell is made to order and is professionally produced with a durable gel coat and machine chopped fiberglass for a uniform finish. Each shell comes pre-trimmed, with [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) and [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) holes pre-cut. > **[Pack: Particle Accelerator Fiberglass Hero Shell](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/fiberglass-hero-shell)** > > Pack: Particle Accelerator Fiberglass Hero Shell - available at the GBFans.com Shop.

They fit the above shells perfectly, and will fit the Bigi330 shell and other community shells very well. These motherboards are 1/8" thick and are very heavy duty. > **[Pack: Aluminum Motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-motherboard)** > > Pack: Aluminum Motherboard - available at the GBFans.com Shop.

I don’t personally have a source for bumpers unfortunately. Also. Lots of people have been having problems with PayPal ordering. We introduced a bug last night, and have subsequently squashed it. If you were trying to use PayPal.. try again! ---

Nicks bumpers are top notch…I have one on my pack and required very little cleanup. Someone should get with one of these makers here and work out a bulk deal for the gbfans shop to sell ---

Thanks for the fast reply Vin. Do you happen to know if the [N-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) is marked to drill out the holes, ala the mark for the knob and Clippard? Just killed my studio creations (on the last coat of paint!!!) and considering to cut my losses to stay on schedule ☹ ---

Yes, the [n-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) is marked. You should use a uni-bit on it and the holes should be 1/2". The [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) holes are also pre-cut. ---

Sweet! OK last question! Does the gel coat remove the need to prime this guy before painting? ---

No, you’ll still need to scrub the shell with a gentle dish soap and water and then primer it after its completely dried. Also, drill/tap all your holes at lower speed when dealing with gel coat. ---

will these fiberglass shells be available indefinitely? also what do you use to cut the holes out of the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron)? ---

The cyclo holes are already pre-cut with a key-hole bit. As of right now we hope to continuously supply them. A bunch of people have received them but no one had posted any feedback for them yet. Hopefully some build threads or feedback will start popping up soon. ---

If anyone is considering getting a pack for this Halloween NOW would be the time to order. I’m working on making more molds for the fiberglass shop so that they can keep up with the demand but I know they’re going to start getting slammed in the next few weeks. If you know anyone planning a Halloween build give them a heads up 😉 [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/gbfans-shop-fiberglass-shells-amp-aluminum-motherboards/10415.md?page=2)
