Good day, I am in the planning stages of constructing a monocoque for a F1 dublicate utilizing a 1000cc motorcycle engine (gsxr/zx,cbr...) it will be producing about 3-500hp being built and turbocharged. I am working out the construction stages of building the monocoque and I will first be building a plug using pink panther insulating foam afterwards will be a 3 part split mold covering from the front to the back all the way up the middle then the upper piece will have two splits along the center line. I plan on using 8 layers of carbon with nomex 1/2" core sandwiched between them also it will have kevlar sandwiched between the two layers of carbon on either side of the core ex: C/C/K/C/C/Nomex/C/C/K/C/C. I was planing to vacuum infuse the parts separately and will have to be done in stages with the first cloth layers being done then bonding the nomex core with wet layup after that finishing it with the rest as you can't infuse resin with a honeycomb cores. My problem is how would the 3 section be finally bonded together and strengthen as it would need an overlap or additional layers where the bond would be but being a monocoque it would be difficult to reinforce it properly by the frontal area.
