Title: Carbon Fiber Parts
Post by: Carl on November 09, 2013, 01:14:08 PM
I am starting a carbon fiber company in a few months, and might start making parts for T-Birds/Cougars.

Some of the parts I am considering making out of carbon fiber.

Intake Manifolds 2.3 and 5.0
Valve Covers 2.3 and 5.0
Body Parts Hoods, Custom Hoods, Front Splitters, Grills
Interior Parts

Anything else anybody wants?

just for the record, I am a complete newb when it comes to Carbon Fiber.  I'm going to give it my best shot though.

I'm in Los Angeles for a couple more months on business.  I'm going to get things rolling when I get back to Colorado

Hood will be one of the first things I do.  Probably gonna be a turbo coupe hood though.

I get back home around December 12th.  Looking to buy a house within the next month, and then I will purchase materials to make molds and carbon parts.

Some of the things I'm going to start with.

-Hoods
-Custom Dashes
-Mirrors
-Grills
-Custom Intake Manifold Plates

my opinion, don't bother with the dash. not too many people would be willing to swap a whole dash, or we would have a lot more sn-95 dashes on this site.

what part of Colorado are you moving to? my dad is pretty good with.carbon fiber. he used to work at a composite company here in Utah. they invented carbon fiber and we used to use it a lot.back in the day for model airplane parts.

I've lived in Colorado since 2007.

Just working in Los Angeles right now.

I want to make a dash for my own T-Bird, so I will already have the mold.  Might as well have it as an option! ;)

Dash would be cool

You should do gauge clusters like the Florida 50 clusters for the mustangs

to freight ship a hood across the country…… I already know it will cost $360, plus cost of a packing crate on a pallet (Approx $40)

Even shipping small parts these days isn't cheap.
