Looking good!  Diolen will add some impact resistance.   The team at EC experimented with using a foam core on car cycle wings and reckoned it would prevent any "star crazing" on the visible surface from stone strikes.

You could also fabricate wheel arch liners from a kevlar weave using the flexible resin so it curves to arches and absorbs impact.

Have you thought about using a closed cell foam or soric core in places to add rigidity?

Haha, nice to see things going forward

this is one of the few videos I have... not very good I admit.

Fantastic!

what amazing cars you have!

you may be a bit crazy to drive this rocket on road, but i really like this!

have you got some video anywhere of your nobel on road or track?

Regards,

Seb.

My noble has well over 600bhp... soon to be over 700bhp... it weights 1110kgs full of fuel (hoping to reduce that 50kgs)  and is pretty nippy.

Good project.

I read this topic since the begining, i must say i'm really fan of your project!

Question: AndyGTT, why GTT?

Can you give us some detail on your Nobel? i heard this was an english car faster than many supercars...

some parts will be visable carbon and I intend to have a strip over the body in raw carbon with laquer on top... bulk will be painted though.

Nice mould and good job!

did you planed to make all this part in visible carbone frame?

this will be an hard work i guess!

Regards,

Seb.

Pulled the mould from the buck tonight, please to say it came apart without issue

Hi,

I use polyester filler (2pack) as the coat on which the mold is built. It can be polished to a high shine, and I never had a "sticker". I also used it with Unimold system, and its proven to work perfect (I use 6 coats of wax, no easy-lease, no pva).

So I'm with Ragece for the polyester paint. Much more thin, perfect for molding an existing part.

From my experience, I would highly recommend a test panel before you proceed to your final part when you get new products. Chemistry is sometimes a bi***. I know it's one lost day of testing but it can make the rest of the week go better

I got a question about your part: saw you used spray glue to tack the fabric to the mold. It may not be clear in the pic so: does your part have cosmetic "residues" from the glue? And if not, would you share the brand and type of glue.

Thanks, and keep us posted with your new parts
