/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Does this sound like a good plan?
Yes

Should I stretch fabric over the cardboard, or would that be a waste of time/materials? Will the finished product be stiff enough to use bondo?
It would probably just be easier to start off in manageable sections; i.e. (paint a little resin, put cloth on it, paint resin on that, repeat). There shouldn't be any need to stretch the cloth over the cardboard because it should take the shape when you wet the whole thing down then dry that way. Then you can add more coats of fiberglass to build it up. I would just make sure the cardboard doesn't get too soggy from the resin which I don't think it would. After a few times with cloth and resin it'll be stiff as hell and hard as a rock. Sand that bad boy down a little, Bondo it for smoothness, then sand that down. Bondo tends to crack as it dries so it may take a few coats to get it right, unless you think it's worthy after just the fiber-glassing then you can just paint it and gloat.

I thought a pic of both my cat and my girlfriend flipping them the bird was pretty clever, but alright.

It's incredibly solid, to the point where the phone would break before the mount did.

I, OP, am that fella, yep! My girlfriend opted to offer that response to the haters.

Yep, good eyes.

Why did you have to post that picture, hahaha. That is from 2009. Pic related is my car today.

That looks awesome to me. I'd be afraid of the phone getting jolted whenever you flicked it in/out, but maybe a little bit of cushioning on the extreme ends of the rail would help.

Gotta go change my pants, brb.

Current plans are a match-lighting laser and a flamethrower; didn't think about a thermometer. That might be neat!

Ooo, rangefinder would be cool too.
