I have been working for a customer/friend on a new shell for his hill climb/sprint car. The plug is based on a Reliant Kitten shell. The new additions have been built up from ply and Kingspan boards followed by a layer of 450 CSM. A week of applying and sanding filler has resulted in a nice flat surface ready for 2K high build primer followed by 2k direct gloss. Then I shall start adding flanges, it will require an eight piece mould plus wheel arch returns. The final shell will be done in full carbon.

That looks brilliant. Smile

How many layers of glass have you used?

How did you manage to layup the overhanging wheel arches?

You have a very luxurious workshop, fancy carpet and everything. I've got a 1 mtr square bit that I have to move about with me, haha.

Sorry Craig missed your post. As this is really a one-off mould we only used 2 layers of 450 on the main areas with some localised bracing and 3 layers on the flanges. As it turns out I don't thing we would have got the thing off the plug if it had been any thicker. 
The posh workshop is Andrew the customers garage so can't take credit for that.Smile
