I think http://www.fiberglast.com had some tutorials.

There was also a post not to long ago in this section that had links to a couple of good tutorials and step by step installs.

Here is a link to the thread I was talking about in the post above. I was wrong it was at dsmtalk not here.

Fiberglass box thread

Check w/ barnes and noble or youre local bookstore. Ive found useful information there. Fiberglass gets expensive real qucik when building anything. Try to avoid air pockets, as they will make your project weak. Ive build a lower sub enclosure, and a boost gauge pod to fit the contour of my dash w/ fiberglass and both worked well. Consider adding some sort of chicken wire or wire mesh to your project for strength and also to help shape your project.

I found out the easys way to build a box with fiberglass is to duild the box out of HDF or MDF board and take it to a boat repair place and let them fiberglass the box and gelcoat it to.
