Fiberglass and thin MDF for the bulk of it, Bondo-Glass or equivalant for the finishing.....

make sure you use a filler that is meant for plastics or it will just crack off eventually

I'm having a bit of trouble with something else about your post: your RACE car is a 97 Crown Vic? Is this a yacht race?
