Thanks for taking the time to share the details with us Chris, very impressive and educational. :thumbsup:

Did you end up using the foam as a plug to re-lay a full carbon panel or did it become final as shown?

From a few pages back.
Exactly: not that anyone is planning on dinging the car, but the risk is there. Making the flares in sheetmetal would be initially possible, but any damage would be very costly having to either repair or replace the sheetmetal piece. With the carbon 'bolt-on' pieces, if one gets damaged, we have the all the molds to make them exactly the same forever.

The pieces you see being formed are essentially the plugs. Usually, molds would be pulled from these pieces. In this case, we went a little further as you will see soon!

...which is why they have to be built with a sturdy material.

The hardest part is to keep both sides the same. Right?

This thing is so cool. Are you guys planning on making a cool artistic video of the car? Showcasing all the details

something like;

but with more fitting music. We have got to see videos of this thing rolling.

I absolutely love this build!!!

Can't wait to see it on a track!

I wanna see this car at Laguna Seca! Or better yet, Nurburgring!!
