ABOUT
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. See
