Your work looks great.

I had an old pillar gauge pod made of ABS laying around the shop, so I cut that up for pieces to fill in the major gaps. There really is a minimum of Bondo in the whole project. It's mostly pieces of ABS, molded together with Oatley ABS Cement. This stuff is so thick that you can literally use it to fill voids and bridge gaps. It's much easier than trying to mix up your own sludge using ABS shavings and MEK or Acetone.
To answer everyone elses questions...
These things are much too time consuming to make any money at it. You'd have to charge a fortune for them. It's much easier just to show everyone how it's done and let them do their own. It's really not that hard, just time consuming...
