I'm trying to work on the interior of my body and have a question about the strength of fiberglass sheets. My plan is to finish my interior similar to that of Ex Junk's, in that I am laying fiberglass over foam throughout the interior, rather than using upholstery. I have wooded the sides with 1/2' ply, which has been glued to the sides with construction adhesive. In between the wooden slats will be shaped foam, giving my interior the shape that I want. My plan is to now lay fiberglass over the foam, sandwiching the foam and ply...My problem is that I don't really know how many layers of fiberglass cloth I need to use. Will one layer of heavy-duty cloth be sufficient for an interior, or do I need to do multiple layers? Obviously, the fiberglass will add a bit of structural rigidity to the body, but my main intent is to simply have a nice smooth interior. I do realize that the interior will take a bit of a beating though, from climbing in and out, to simply leaning against the body while driving. I have had very limited experience with fiberglassing, so I would appreciate some advise of how thick to make the glass.
