Not really thought about that
I need to crack on with my car first ,
I will be making a few spares of all the bits as im bound to come off track at some point
So i will prob sell some off
The resin i use has a shelf life of a year too so i will need to use it all up as its £££
Done the gell coat today

front end mold done
came out great
Not all the mold is in the photo there is a piece which bolts to the top to make the return flange just inside the bonnet line


I will be glad when ive finnished these molds its getting messy

Only few bits left
2 rear wings
I rear valance
Bonnet with vents
boot
Rear roof where the sprint badge goes the vinyl covered bit ,Only covering this instead of the vinyl,
Pair of headlamp surrounds
Bumpers
Door hinges (was going to make in alloy but its a challenge to do in carbon)
Rear Fire wall
Revised dash,

ive just revisited this thread.

how's things going?

Awesome project.This is an excellent read.You dont find this much detail in a magazine article.Thats what i love about forums.

P.s

Inconel?
you must have won the lottery
We use this at work on reactors.EXPENSIVE STUFF.
Does the "F"(df) stand for fabricator?
Keep up the fantastic work.
If i win the lottery i might just pay you a visit.

You could have borrowed my mould for the front panel Daz!

Thanks Alun
I would have been worried if i had borrowed yours in case i damaged it .
but i also dont like to bother people,
Thanks Again.

This is the dash i have modded to take a mold from .
I want the gauges to the left to be at the correct angle
Also want the dash to finnish nice around the rollcage wrapping around the door bars and crash bar
Couple of early piccys

It does fit snugly door bars arnt welded in yet

I think it will look nice in carbon,
I have also put an alloy insert in which i will take out before molding
so i can make another panel which the gauges will fit in then this will fit flush in the dash
Also done a bit on the rear radiator conversion
This is where the air will come in from to cool the rad


This is the start of the air scoop

This panel will be molded i can then start the inner part of the scoop which will have 8" pipes feeding the rad box
I can then bond the 2 carbon pieces together and fit
The rear wings are going to be carbon but will be painted the air scoops will be left carbon
Both sides are to be modded
Still a lot of flatting to do to the dash bfore i mold it as it has to be perfect as it will bug me if not.lol

Awesome. I can see a big market for a carbon front panel...

i know its a silly question considering the beautifulness that is before me, but have you thought about paint?

Yes
2 options
Red with carbon arches .roof, front and rear wing vents ,spoiler, diffuser in pure carbon
Or ford frozen white same carbon bits,
OHH and currently looking into fitting an RB 6 Cyl engine.

Ill throw the first vote in for frozen white
