So far, all I have is the stuff at http://Utopia650.com
But I also made a CF box for 90mm OEM headlight units, but my camera died before I made it.
It looks like shit though, since I layed it ON a box mold, so the outside is rough due to the peelply and breather material. A few layers of 10oz 8HS and FB Mat on 2 sides for stiffness.
It will be redone soon, when I finish my move.
Look like they’re getting there. Just a thought for the flat panels you have on the side of the headlights. Get a piece of wood 1/4" thick and cut it to the same shape then rout the edges with a dremel very slightly. Glue this piece to a piece of glass or attach another piece of wood. I like to use glass for my flanges on flat parts because it’s non porous. Now paint this piece with surfacing primer then sand and polish to a glossy surface. Mold it and now your ready to start producing some parts. Try this method out on all your edges.
other then glass what have you been using for your flanges cfcrafting?
I have been using just cardboard and going to try foamboard
I use anything I can get my hands on really. Tape sometimes works on small parts. I like to use thin plexiglass on bends that aren’t so severe like the front part of that civic dash. I also use a long method of making them with fiberglass and plexi. Hard to explain but I’ll try to use your dash as an example. lay a couple layers of 2 inch tape in the center of the dash stretching from the left to the right. When that cures remove it. now take a flat piece of glass the length of the dash and gelcoat it. make some flat panels the width of the flanges you want. before it cures you stand that strip of 2 in tape on its side and glass it to the flat panel. When it cures cut the bottom half flush to that strip of 2 in tape, You are basically making an L shape, the 2in tape being the bottom of the L and the flat part as the parting flange. set the 2 in tape and new flange right back on the piece and glass the other side. Like I said, very long way to do it. but I hate clay and I’m anal when it comes to rough flanges.
Now for the trunk. make a frame out of 3/4 inch plywood that the trunk lid lips sit perfectly on. make flat strips of 4 in. tape and let cure. staple them to the frame and sit your trunk lid on top. now clay the edges and your done.
oh yeah I forgot, I use mirrors too 
Problem is I keep breaking them. Wonder why I always have to try a part twice before getting it right, bad luck?
Alright I wasn’t going to say anything but here are some of the things I use. I have a large flat sheet of fiberglass that I cut out to use as flange. Just one ply of 6 to 8 oz cloth layed up on top of a big piece of glass. It’s traight, smooth and flexible enough for me to do a lot of things with it. It cuts relatively nice with a tin snip too. If I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to apply mold release to the flange, I’ll tape it up with aluminum foil tape or teflon tape (not cheap). A cheaper way would be normal masking tape with a layer of wax on it. The resin won’t stick to the tape, but the glue tends to melt off under high heat so it leaks out into the gelcoat sometimes which pisses me off. Wipe on a layer of wax and be done with it, I don’t even wipe the wax off. Other than that I also use acrylic sheets, card board paper and corrugated boxes as flange.
Hot glue gun and tooling clay is my best friend.
I have been playing with the foam board and I didn’t like working with it, I will thry the fiberglass sheet though
hmmm… I’ve been wondering what to do with my trashcan of scrap fiberglass.
cfcrafting- are you getting a lot of interest in your area for overlaying and manufacturing parts? My shop is closed to the public for walk-ins cause of the nature of my business. I have to have my offices not connected to my manufacturing floor to be able to allow walk-in traffic. I have been thinking about renting the place next to me for retail local customers. I have plenty of people I am making stuff for in-town but it is a pain cause I can not let them in the shop to talk or show examples of what I will be doing I have to take everything outside :evil:
What are you working for nasa or something ? There are several boating places around here being right next to the ocean and all that I do repairs for. Other than that I do custom work for anyone interested on s2000 forums. I also have an import shop right down the road that brings alot of work to me. Haven’t quite made it into the big time and not ready to take the risk of solely doing this work so I do have a full time job as well.
Where are you located?
no, I just do composites full time, but regulation here are awesome and suck at the same time, I don’t have to have bearly any permits, I can house as much hazardous stuff I want, just can’t dump anything down the drain :). The only draw back I can not let anyone in the manufacturing area or 100 yards from it, not including outside. So that is my whole building. I am in Idaho and I do a lot of stuff for street rods and imports, our big thing is we are making a full carbon fiber Shelby Cobra 427 body. Which we are molding off my cobra.
we are going to sell the bodies for $9,500 and have 3 already pre-sold 
very nice. I want one.
I luckly inherited (spelling) it It is an original as well.
Um. Maybe I’m wicked tired. (Oh wait, I am)
but…
huh?
Not sure what you mean by all of this. The headlight brackets are just…flat. I use Al/Laminated wood as my tool.
This is what I would do if I were making those parts. Instead of rough edges you put a little curve on them. Plus, by making the mold you don’t have to keep making flat panels and cutting.
very true
