Hello, i want to make a simple hood for my car. The hood is simular to a volvo 240 hood, large and without any curves/profiles to strengthen the hood. I have seen the tutoiral oon how to make a hood with a inner and outer part. Iam thinking of doing this without the inner part. first a 200gsm carbon mat then a 650gsm carbon mat. To strengthen te hood iam thinking i could lay down a 10cm 5mm/10mm 3dCore reinforcement at the edges of the hood. Then a new 650gsm matt or two 450gsm.
Is this a good idea or is it not worth a try? Making a inner hood skin mould seem to be a lot of extra work.
