Could someone make me a carbon fibre hood .
 
Can some one here make a carbon fibre hood for a drag car I,m working on . The stock steel hood is retardedly heavy . Is it easy to make one outta C/F or maybe go with glass instead . I have a factory hood to make a mold from ..77.

CF or fibreglass would be about the same difficulty, all you have to do is get the CF sheets. :smilie_da

uhh I think CF needs to be baked, unlike fiberglass, i could be wrong
but i'm pretty sure. As to who can make it, you can ask Nick from Zekon?

CF is hella pricey right now. Doesn't need to be baked, you can do a "wet" setup and lay resin down. Its cheap and not very labor intensive.

Prep work and taking your time counts. Sanding and finishing it up can be a real pain in the ass!!!!

Key is patience.

I can do it for you as long as you have the original hood.... And cost will be around 100-200 for supplies and done at a place of your choice!!! Pm me for details...
