Guys,
I have had an unexpected project come up. I had a little bump in my track car last week. Luckily, it has only caused damage to the front bumper and front splitter. Other than that, the car is A-OK.
So I have decided that i will make a composite front bumper.
Thinking out loud:
The style of the bumper is very sporty and aggressive with sharp edges but fortunately there will be no issues with mechanical lock so I will be able to make a single piece mould that should release with a little tug tug. When laying the first layer of 2x2 CF fabric I think it will be next to impossible to avoid creasing and folding to the cloth. Is there a solution for this?
Could I stencil out individual pieces of cloth and align them together with a small overlap or will that translate into the finish piece. Or the other potential option is the make a forged piece.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you.
