Check out Martin’s (drcaron’s) thread. > **[GBFans.com](https://forum.gbfans.com/)** He used an industrial thread case. It will take a bit of plastic/body work, but looks pretty good. I think yours looks pretty decent, too. What don’t you like about it? ---

Brush the inside in fiberglass, then shoot it full of expanding foam? ---

No prob! just make sure the fiberglass is nice and cured and solid before you shoot any foam into it. I’d do three coats or so. Let me know how it goes and post some pics!
