I plan on having a play with CF once my current project car has been sold. FOund this

http://www.mci.i12.com/carbon/index.htm

Lots of good info.

Found a good supplier here in the UK who is quite cheap for the bits needed to create moulds and cast my own CF bits...

Once I have sold my project car (cheap car I have been restoring for profit) and have some time and £££'s again I will be having a play at making my own CF bits... REALLY want to make myself a 1303 badge in CF sometime.

Any other good sites teaching how to work with C/F??


Cya,
Sam C

Id worry more about mold making then the actual carbon fibre lay-up process right now. Here are some links for suppliers and info.

http://www.uscomposites.com/

http://www.carb.com/enter.html

http://www.macqc.com/raceplates/

I think I lost a really good site of a complete fibreglass car build. Ill try to look for it as its had some of the best info about mold making. Hope those get you started.
