COPIED HERE BY ZAK33, cos this lot in here are all quite smart and MIGHT not visit Cars n Bikes and therefore might miss the thread.



Not sure where to put this, but if its in the wrong place.... please feel free to move.
Anyway - Ive decided to replace the dash and door panels (and anything else I can find!) with Carbon Fibre (dragster - not the 'road' car).
Now - the last time I did any composite work was back many moons ago at Britannia Airways.... I have 2 books on order from Amazon (just to refresh my memory) so... does anyone have any hints / tips for normal layup without vacpacs and autoclaves
As much as I would love to have this professionaly done - the price for what will be a one off run, is just WAY out there, money that can be spent on other things !!!
Im guessing the door panels will be as simple as laying up each one on glass (as has been suggested by the vendor of the cloth) therefore getting a nice finish, the dash I can see having problems with due to the shape (though I have the original available to make a mould)
Cheers
Iain
