How to Fabricate Automotive Fiberglass & Carbon Fiber Parts by Daniel Burrill and Jeffrey Zurschmeide
SA Design Pro Series
Fiberglass and composite parts are commonly used in many collector cars,
hot rods, Corvettes, and even late-model vehicles. Body panels,
interior components, and engine parts are fabricated from fiberglass and
composite materials (plastic molded or carbon fiber). While other
fiberglass and composite material books have been published, few are
focused on fabricating and repairing automotive parts, and this book
concentrates on completing common and advanced projects at home in the
garage.
The reader is shown how to use glass strand mat, woven fiberglass cloth,
carbon fiber cloth, and hybrid fabrics for particular applications. The
strength of these mats and ideal uses are covered in detail. Also shown
is how to correctly mix the typical resins (polyester, epoxy),
hardeners, and gels. Core materials, such as wood, foam, and honeycomb
Nomex, are often used to add strength to various parts. All the relevant
tools, including mixing containers, holding containers, saws, scissors,
files, and shaping tools, are discussed. Constructing patterns to
exacting standards from wood, Formica, aluminum, and other materials is
essential and covered in detail.
Whether repairing existing components, fabricating new ones, building a
race car, or restoring a classic, this is the one book to guide the
reader through each critical stage.
