You need to fix your photos. When we click on them, they're not any larger than the thumbnails. We can't see too much in them.

You have a talent for understatement.

I can't even tell if I'm looking at a car.

As for fiberglass, sure if it's basically a disposable car, fiberglass is fine, but if, as you say, it's a restoration, that's a different story.
