Looks nice, simple and effective. What are your plans for your helm pod? Something Carolina custom-ish?

here is how I removed the core material, I just cut around the edge with my 4' dimond blade. and then peeled the skin off

after clean up I wet out a layer of 1.5 oz matt

1.5 oz matt to give the foam a nice bed to bond to
