somebody know a good website or a good how to: for building a fiberglass sealed enclosure with a mdf frame

i want to install it on the side (passanger side) i already made a models out of cardboard for the base, rear and side that i will replace with mdf

i want to do the front with fiberglass and im not sure of all i need and how to proceed so any input or reference will help

thx
 
ok i bought most of my materiel

but something im not sure after reading both how to

how many layer of fiberglass should i put aprox. ?

I always start with fleece/resin, (because its so easy to get the shape you want)then do one thick layer of matte/resin, and then finish with a coat of microballoons/resin.
Its a little over kill but I started out making enclosures in boats (reason I got into fiberglassing) And the enclosures I built had to withstand getting the @#$@ beat out of them.
