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.

Not been on here for a while but just had to comment on this. What Andrew (jacko) has achieved here is incredible. He has designed it, made the buck, made the mold and then produced a full cf she'll having had no previous composites experience what so ever. Absolute respect for the shear skill and determination of the man. Anyone with any composites experience will be able to appreciate the shear number of man hours that have gone  into this project. The results speak for themselves, awesome.
