Very off topic project I am doing but I am trying to replicate some over quarter fenders for the rear of my 94 rx7, I recently bought the rear over quarters a month ago and they just showed up, anyways these panels are 1100 shipped from japan and I need two sets and I only have one so I have to make a mold to make another set as I have two cars that need them. My question is what materials to use, how to flange this part for a mold, and can I use evercoat pva or do i need wax to release mold from part?

Ok. In that case I would go for 3 layers of 225g and 2 layers of 450g chopped strand. You could use 5 layers of a 260g woven glass too, but woven fabrics are a bit harder to wet-lay without vacuum. 

You could also use a core or bulker mat like Coremat or PVC. In which case I would use a 3mm core with one layer of 225g glass on either side.
