    I ran 1 inch strips of insulation foam for the cross braces and covered that with a layer of carbon fiber to give the braces some three dimensional structure.....much stronger than just flat strips of carbon cloth and insignificant weight addition.

    I really enjoyed this video, I have been making a few small CF panels (steadily getting bigger) with pleasing results. I wanted to do exactly what you have done here to make a CF bonnet for my supercharged van (without making a mould) and this has been a great inspiration. Thank you RuskiWeldfab!

    Geometry under the hood will yield the strongest part while still saving a ton of weight. Even something as simple as cutting the cardboard tube from an old paper towel roll in half length wise and laying the end to end provides a easy form you can lay your cf over and get the most out of it. Foam works too as long as you aren’t using polyester resins that will eat it. OEM hoods have the ribbing for this very reason, max rigidity with minimal material. Overall, love the video and great work. Love seeing people choose to do it themselves to get something special and one of a kind versus spending thousands on a super price inflated cookie cutter hood.

    I've done the same for already 5 panels of my car, I do 1 ply of 300g/sqm carbon fiber on the original panel, I put epoxy there, then I put 2mm or 3mm nomex honeycomb, then another 300g carbon F ply. Then epoxy again, then peel ply, perforated release film, then breather then vac bag. From experience I suggest that you bag only the top of the panel and not all of it because you will crush the original panel. Also a pressure of 0.25 bar is great to not crush the core. you can expect 1.7kg/sqm in average. It's faster than your technique and way stiffer, more prone to damage also but for a track or road car it's great. To seal the core you can use tape (like they do in aerospace) or thickened resin. For bumpers carbon dynnema or twarron is also great ! I do 3 ply of 300g/sqm also but I use a squeegee and I'm not scare to go a little resin poor for better bending with less cracks.
    I's always very fun to do or watch thanks

  • @KevinNguyen-zn4vv
    @KevinNguyen-zn4vv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I was thinking of the same idea -- to use the original as the mold to save money. Most vehicles have a ~3/16 gap between body fairings, so fitting shouldn't be much of an issue. Depending on how much your time it's worth, a cheap fiberglass mold may end up saving you more time, which equals $_$. I would also only create the mold for the inner support structures for strength/mounting.

    nice job _ I am happy that you are impressed with yourself ;) - it is truly live and learn and if you had cut the material large enough, You could have folded all the edges around without cutting it, giving the edges a nice round finished look, plus the folded layer would have provided additional strength - Finally since you used an existing exterior of a bonnet, the question remains to see if it fits is it should since it could be a tiny bit larger than the original by several millimeters - Since this was from a year ago, you probably don't care about my comment any more.

    Or for the braces you can use half inch PVC split into two pieces, so you have two 180° pieces and just lay up a double tape joint over that pvc. I'll bet if you did that, you wouldn't even need to add any more layers of fabric on the bottom.
    I know the feeling when you're trying to separate a lay up from the mold. You're hoping that you appled enough release agent.

    Not bad man. Those vents made me nervous. Skinning always takes too long though. Use peel ply next time, it will eliminate a lot of sanding for additional top layers. You will be able to apply resin on top of the peel ply when your done with the skinning(resin rich). This will flatten the top surface.

    • @RuskiWeldFab
      @RuskiWeldFab  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very good question. Simple answer is YES and NO. Sometimes you only need to open the bonnet. Will be a pain to remove entire front end. Expensive to make as this will require a huge 5/6 piece mould. Won’t be cheap. Also being so big there is issues of storing it. Once removed you need to keep it somewhere safe. Carbon is more fragile than you might think. So yeah there are possitives and negatives. But usualy full front end as one part is reserved for fully space framed cars

    It's about 2.8KG you mentioned and the original was 5.8...Is it more or less rigid than the original bonnet? Do you already have carbon strut bracing? If it's more rigid this seems like it may make sense.
