Thanks everyone, it has been a much longer road then I intended but that thing called life kept getting in the way. The hoses were done at a Parker store, it's a place that does different lines for industrial uses, air hoses, hydraulic stuff, and the like.
As for the fiberglass, the first thing on the right path was to but the border around my original mold. That kind of seemed like a no brainer after my first attempt though, even though it didn't occur to me. I had tried a kit you can get at any auto parts store and the resin and especially the matting I used this time worked so much better. The matting was so much easier to work with which was huge. I got some good release wax, and I know there are suitable substitutes out there but this stuff just seemed to go on better and produced a much more slippery result plus I didn't need to put as much on. But the biggest difference was this little bottle of green stuff, I'll get the name later, that you can spray or brush on. It dries into this film that makes separation so much easier. It also really helped with some of the small pock marks and air bubble holes that crept up along the way. Total cost? The auto parts store kit I believe was about $20 and everything I bought from the fiberglass shop was about $50. But I picked up enough of everything this time to make my mold and the fender and I have enough left over to make another fender if I'd like. Plus the advice on mixing the resin, which the auto parts kit was a bit vague on, along with any stupid questions I came up with. If I do another one I'm going to pick up some black pigment to help with the color. It won't replace paint completely but it certainly will reduce the amount of paint and visibility of nicks, chips, and dings.
