It does have glass in it. It is the stuff you get from a car parts place to repair bodywork. Depends where you are as to what it is called. I have used a product called Isopon P40 which is the same sort of stuff. Have a look at www.u-pol.com

Angel hair or kitty hair in the states I think.

Polyester resin with chopped fibre strands in. Autobody repairs shops, or I think parts stores like pepboys will have stateside.

the finished product looks much better....but be prepared to do a lot of sanding

I think i did a better job then Version 1 of my car PC old_lcd shows how i used to have the screen.

IF you go to the root you can see my custom sub build-up too... I just finished that last night (sealing it) and I still have to carpet it..

here's the root where you can find the sub work too..

That looks like some quality work man! I'm especially interested in how you got that perfect OEM-like grain on your paint. Did you use texture paint or some special process? It looks amazing! Do tell!
