Great video. I've been thinking about doing this at some point. Some nice pointers about adding strength. Thanks

It would look good if you powder coated the hood vents. Cool work and I learned a lot.

Defo. A coat of gloss black so they blend in better
Thank you very much for your contribution, there are no videos like this on the net. I want to do this in my car. Does the recipe raise temperature? Can this ruin the paint on my car? I have the bonnet with vinyl wrap which I would think would give it extra protection, but it is what scares me the most, damaging the original paint.
Meanest looking Micra I've ever seen! Carbon work impressive as always. Teaser for the wings and roof at the end as well 👍

I would highly recommend EC's new thick release film. You lay it on top, vacuum pull and the layer peels off leaving you with a perfectly flat (no ripples) and shiny surface after one coat of epoxy, it cuts out a LOT of sanding as it's a very similar process to how you create carbon fiber sheets using glass.

I wanna do something similar to my 2022 Elantra, the hood weighs SOOOO much for such a small car. heavier than many of the V8 engine hoods that I've lifted. wouldnt mind doing trunk and then possibly each of the panels and doors. if I could save 80% of each part I am sure I would drop a couple hundred lbs (the parts feel way heavier than necessary even for being metal).
Nice work

Looks sweet! What type of foam is used for the X strengthening part, Is it specific to composites and resins or just any old foam?
@RuskiWeldFab
Жыл бұрын
It’s a special high density foam. But I suppose any high density foam will work almost the same. In fact anything that can raise layers in between will work.
How much material it's needed for the micra bonnet?
Would it be possible to make parts of the suspension/steering in carbon fiber (like tubes,triangles...? would they endure the track days?
@RuskiWeldFab
Жыл бұрын
yes absolutely but that requires different level of engineering lol.
what length roll did you use?
Could a “paddle roller” be used to help the resin penetrate and remove bubbles within the resin? Or is that not really an issue/could it damage the weave? I’ve seen people use them on fibreglass but not carbon. Great video as usual. Always an interesting/educational watch

Yes rollers can help. But like you said always need to be careful no to damage the fabric
Great video man, thank you! I plan on doing my e36 Bonnet. Wanted to ask the name of the product you used as your first layer, you mentioned something like Dialin? (not sure of spelling) i dont seem to find it on a google search.

Did you use a higher temp resin with it being a bonnet? Is it needed??
@RuskiWeldFab
Жыл бұрын
well. no we havent. and i personally dont think its needed if you have sufficient cooling. also its a good idea to apply reflective gold sheet on the inside.
Wouldn't your part be a little larger in dimension than the original since it goes over the original? How do you compensate for this (extra 2 to 3 mm on each edge)?

@@RuskiWeldFab Got it. Considering it was a flat part to begin with. I was thinking of something with compound curves/body lines, or a hood from a 60's era car with more reinforcements underneath. Something that would have to line up with other panels. Ask a stupid question, huh?

@@RuskiWeldFabQuick questions. When applying the PVA on the hood or fender, does it need to be sanded the clear coat out first or it is not necessary? Last question. After removing the carbon fiber from the hood or fender, will the PVA damage the paint, and can it be washed with soap afterward? Sorry, too many questions but I'm new at this. Have a good day.
So u mold the carbon in the inside and outside of the hood and mate them together

@@RuskiWeldFab Thanks! You’ve inspired me to start thinking about making my own first aero package on my car, and actually I’d like to build one before going first time to the track next season 😄. Already have a bunch of ideas and rules of a thumb to apply to really make it work. Seems to be much easier to work with composites than building a powerful engine and upgrading drivetrain, dealing with heat issues etc. Sorting out suspension, geometry and aero seems to me more accessible.
Where did you get the foam?
