So I have been working on some ideas for some custom wide body guards for the car. The first sketches are of the guards, mainly focussed on the front:
The next few are ideas specifically for the rear in isolation:
Happy to hear your thoughts.
When I next get the chance, the spare shell is not gonna know what hit it. I will cut out steel that is in the way for what I want to do so I can see what I have to work with.
The current side skirts are a cut and shut job on what I think was originally a Vertex copy kit. I want to do a clean sheet design sculpted on the spare shell and then take moulds from that.
The plan is to do a lot of the design and prep work over the winter ready for some big glass and carbon layups when the weather gets a bit warmer. I am trying to talk myself into getting setup for vacuum infusion. I realise I will waste some carbon and resin learning the technique, but from all I have read it is the best of the low cost (relative) composite construction methods.
