For over a month Cody Barnhill and Eric Hjorleifson have been huffing more fumes than all the high school kids in Utah combined. Difference being that Cody and Eric are handcrafting a few hundred pairs of Eric’s new signature model from 4FRNT, the Renegade and the fumes are just part of the fun of laying up fiberglass.
