Your ferarri intake port things are pretty freakin sweet! Is that a helmet?
after i get back form sema i’m making a trip to your place to try and asourb some of those skills…
Dude, DUUUDDDEEE your the man! :shock: :? 
This how I feel when I look at those pic’s. Those are some sick parts!
Yeah it’s a prototype helmet made for HD. They’re DOT testing it right now so if it passes DOT then they’ll be producing about 600,000 units in '05. I wont be making them of course, they have their own factory overseas. They just wanted me to make some samples and see if it’s worth their while.
Robby, any time man.
Rick, it takes practice. That’s all. This is not rocket science. Trial and errors and you’ll get there before you know it. And you’ll continue to make mistakes and continue to learn from them. This industry is ever changing so there’s always something new.
you don’t have to post a pic, maybe a PM but do you have pic of the mold for the air box? just wanted to see how you did something on it. I am doing something simular for a porsche
Evan, what process did you use to make the fender? I’m going to be doing the front Fender on my 600F4. Is it just an overlay into a mold and then air dry?
thx
The fender was vacuum infused.
Nice parts Evan,…I’m with EMI…can you post pix of the molds ? I’m always curious as to the final mold build designs for complex shapes.
The more challenging the better in my book ! :idea:
thanks again…Vince
Here’s the mold for the fender and air box. The air box molds are dusty and I don’t feel like cleaning them right now.
Nice Evan,
I still have to wonder “why such BIG flanges” ? Does it allow the vacuum effect of shrink,to NOT pull or disfigure the rest of the mold while under Vac. ?
Also,I’d love to see you do a video of the mold making steps for a few of the 2-part molds.That would benifit me alot for my products build-up.
And I’m sure I’ll be buying even MORE from you in the way of supplies (gratuitous buttering ! ) :oops:
…Vince
I think the bigger the flange the better. It allows ample working room to place your feed line, vac line without getting them too close to the sealant tape area. I prefer 4" flange and no larger than 6" flange.
I’m making a relatively large mold right now, maybe I can take some pictures and such.
Evan
that’s what I needed to see thanks Evan!
how do you get the carbon to lay on the airbox correctly? did you youe a bladder? if so can you show it or explain it. is it two different pieces of carbon infused together and then trimmed?
I did use a bladder. The mold is split up in two, but the layup is done together so there is no seam.
You are so bad at this find another line of work and send me your customers!
lol ha ha you might have had one if you got back to me…lol i really want to learn bladder molds and such but as far as composite repair??? please i will smoke you any day… crafting im not so familiar with…but am learning before i sink a bunch of dough into it. also i live in a small apartment and dont have that much room to mess around in. but i will try to start my own buissness at the close of january doing composites whether its fab or repair. im saving for a hot bonder right now. and besides your the one wanting to watch a stoopid eagles game, with that??? i still want to come over and hang out if thats cool… ill be wearing my broncos hat.
good night
