If it were my project I don,t think I would be going down the "full mould" route too dificult to make and lay up. Would probably make individual moulds of the various profiles and then bond/rivet them together to form the "box".

There is a point in making carbon fiber parts where the part has to be broken down into multiply subsections and then bonded together. This is one of them. Don't be afraid to do this. I use a Locktite epoxy adhesive called Hysol. I add black pigment to the Hysol, so the glue line is invisible when sanded and polished. Hysol is very thick so it does not sag or run, its one of those "I can't be without it type products to me".

I have done tests to destruction and the panel fails before the glue joint does.
