How about some opinions/suggestions

Some PO installed A/C to my car.  Upon dismantling, this is what I found.  I have some fiberglass experience, made surfboards as a kid, so I'm not against attacking a repairs.  Other than cutting out a cardboard template I'm not sure how to go about it.  Particularly the lip/channel.   Do you think this is worth the challenge, doable?  The used ones I've found are very expensive.  I like to repair parts when it makes since.  TIA

Be a little careful with the repair. I understand the box has a high asbestos content.

Looking at that project I think the OE replacement part would the way to go.  I too have some experience with glass, surfboards, repairs and fabricated parts.  Today's glass, resin and catalyst are a different product from the stuff I used in the last century.  Forming and glassing, with strength, the edge of the air box looks like a problem.  I think after you got all you ducks in a row a replacement box would be cheaper and fit better.  Brian
