  1. It's been interesting noting the difference in between the price of carbon fiber material, and the price of carbon composite body panels. Just what exactly is involved, and how hard is it to do. By the looks of it, not all that hard. Time consuming though, very time consuming. I understood roughly how to make a mould, and do wet layup, but not vacuum bagging. With all the chatter on the other carbon parts, and the know how / DIY attitude on here..i don't think it's beyond quite a few of you to do this yourselves. Granted these videos are promoting this company and their products, but.. they are still extremely informative. Part 1 - making the mould Part 2 - making the skins Part 3 - how to do fixings and bond the two together. But then with a bit more investigation i found guys who have built their own autoclaves to do prepreg, using old kitchen hobs and insulated boxes, then low temp pre-preg carbon (circa 80-110 deg) All very interesting, cameron i'm thinking of you here... or perhaps rippthrough.
