Would i be able to make a template out sheetmetal and then fiberglass it and pop the fiberglass free from the sheet metal or will it stay put?

You'll need some kind of release agent. like wax or spray pam (cooking spray)

Ok here's a question, in my Jag I have a center console that needs to be modified because of the B&M shifter I'm using. Can I take the stock console out and make one out of fiberglass by laying the glass over the old console? I need to keep some of the switch holes and but move a few others. What would be the best way to do this. How many layers of glass would make a nice sturdy console. Would carbon fiber be a better choice?

Regards
Mark

It is done that way all the time. Just need any old thing to make a mold out of and an old console is great. Cardboard, plaster, wood, styrene poster board, and modeling clay are commonly used to make molds. 4 layers of the hardware store fiberglass mat are plenty for a stand alone console or two should be enough if you are leaving the old one inside. Once hard, can bondo and sand it to a fine finish for paint or fairly smooth for upholstery.
