Carbon fibre time attack twins
#602
Making a couple with carbon/Kevlar. Not much advantage I think. Guys want the Kevlar for shatter resistant qualities. I think if you smash the roof, your in a lot of trouble anyway. It is harder to cut and sand.

Nice! Looks good. Did the resin not flow well over the right side on the CF? Can't tell if that's a weird reflection or if the fabric is printing through/not enough resin coverage.
Why would he want kevlar...? There is a reason airplanes don't use it. It's not stiff! Just extra weight.
Oh well, the customer is always right!

I bought a 2001 MX5 to use a test development mule. Will be my track/road car till the Carbon Fire MX5 is done.
I decide to put a fastback on it, so I can start working out the rest of the internal frame work. In the pics I cut a trunk frame out, and bonded it to the fastback. And started on the side window frames.

Bother side frames are in now. Need to trim them, and tidy up. Took a pic with the front and rear spoilers on. I will colour match everything silver so it doesn't stand out too much on the road.

I spent a fair amount of time on the fastback to get it to this stage. Still need to separate the trunk, and make the rear inner frame work.
