So i've been doing a good deal of thought
doors weight TOO MUCH hence i've thought about making my doors fiberglass and maybe having them C/F wrapped for good looks the shell of the should be easy for me to make since its make a mold of the door then create 5 layers inside that... the rest i'm a lil worried about is the strength issues and such? any opinions |

Actually weve already discussed safety is not the issue because he would not be removing the frame or structural support of the door in anyway.
While I am not a fan of "carbon fiber-anything" myself, to each is own, and everyone has their likes and dislikes. ------------------------------------------------ If the goal of the project would be to lighten the weight of the door, I would not even go to the length of the trouble of the project. I could see spending all the time and money if you wanted to do something to redesign the body of the car, but if its just for weight reasons I myself would not go to the trouble. Do let me know what you decide, I am quite interested in this idea of yours and if you do proceed with it how it will turn out  .
-------------------- Armed? Armed with what?
Oh I dunno, colorful language, bad breath, a feather duster...Whatta you think theyre armed with guns you tit! |
