To "splash" a fiberglass part is to use an actual part (in this case, a Cobra body) as the "plug" for the mold. The part is polished and release agent is applied to the part. Then tooling gelcoat is applied to the part, followed by fiberglass and a framework to support what becomes the mold. The mold is then pulled from the plug and you have a reverse copy of the body.
