We're working on both a sunroof and a hood for the FB, also making a TII style scoop for the FB. The fibreglass is going to be way lessexpensive and very little extra weight. Also looking at making a stereo suround with a blanked out stereo opening so you can fit your own. Keep an eye on the Group Buys. Will post pics as they are finished

 

What's the construction, exactly? How many layers of carbon fiber on how many layers of fiberglass? Is the underside also carbon fiber or painted fiberglass? Is the frame under the hood steel? It sounds like the stock latch doesn't work with your hoods, is that true? Is the finish smooth enough to paint so that you wouldn't see wavyness or texture in the paint?

 

CF shouldn't have any fibreglass layers and should be CF all the way through, no metal frame is needed. Finish should be very smooth but beware of CF without a polyurethene layer as it will absorb moisture and delaminate unless painted.

 

Are you talking about yours, or the hoods made by 13 BEEF? See his post above.

 

The bonnets I am doing are Carbon top/fibreglass under. They bolt up with no modifications, have been vaccum bagged and clear coated I also have stereo surrounds and gearstick surrounds to suit FB

 

hey your cf "surround" peices what series do you have them for, that looked like s2 but im not sure, also how much would you be charging shipped, been looking for somthing like that for a while also are they easy to cut up to fit a head unit/gauges in it
thanks

 

I am also interested in the surround for an S2. Will it fit well against the shifter base panel?

 

The surround pictured in an S1 ('79) will be doing S2/3 very soon and gear stick surrounds in Carbon as well. They aren't too hard to cut, I recommend doing it from the reverse side if using a jigsaw. Will post up some prices soon I have almost finished the prototype. Also have vented headlight covers.

turnaround time? shipping?

 

Around 14-21 days from start to finish. You are in New York yeah?

 

For those who can wait mine are still being formed, be patient and I'll have a sample soon, shipping will be much less from Ohio

 

I don't live too terribly far away. Would these require truck freight?

Could just come get it, sans hood.

 

Aussie, I am interested in the hoods (especially with scoop). Keep me informed, as I am in Ohio, and can probably pick it up.

 

yeah

 

When I get them available you'll be welcome to pick them up, working on other parts also

 

What do you have planned?

 

regular hood, hood with scoop, sunroof, sunroof with scoop, molded headlights no need for motor and flip mechanism, if I can get a sample front airdam, some trim pieces, if the demand is there I'll get them made.

 

Shipping from Austrailia? You guys would pay more for the Shipping on a Hood from there then you paid for your car in the first place...... Keep Dreamin. Someone in the USA needs to make them otherwise NO_ONE WILL EVER BUY THEM HERE.

 

I'm in Ohio....

 

Cool, I'm building a E Mod auto-x car, so lightweight components are on my list of needs. Keep me updated on your progress.

 

I am awared of shipping... I live in Guatemala City... Central America....
