Hank,  do you thing the compression would damage anything?   Maybe it would make it stronger!  Were talking very thin plywood.

Brian,
I use a different method than Alec, Alec's method is better for a very complex part.  I take donor fiberglass like truck canopy's shower stalls and what ever is around.  I cut the sections I need out of the donor material and fiberglass it together.  In your case if your going to use plywood, substitute with fiberglass panels.

 I have a question on
 fiberglass,  I'm probably going to have some
 fiberglass faring in places, if I do fiberglass over
 1/8" plywood will there be any issue with the
 compression crushing the wood?    if the wood
 has some resin soaked into it I would think it would be
 quite strong. Brian

  Alec,
  
 I was curious if you could go into details about the
 making of your saddle tanks?
  
 *Where did you get the foam and fiberglass and what
 types did you use
 *How did you shape the foam to ensure symmetry 
 *Was there any difficulty or anything you would do
 differently
  
  
 Thanks,
 Scott Waters
