sounds good man. ive already purchased a 50x70 peice of 2x2 twill for myself, next step is to get some vinyl ester and some other supplies. i have a garage that can be used for this purpose. so if any of you guys actually want to try making parts or want to watch or something along the lines, let me know and we can all use the space. not like im going to be charging you guys for this. i want to learn to make and wrap parts. ill help you make yours as well and chalk it off to experience that ill use to make parts for myself. so if anyone is down for a carbon making session, please let me know and we will set this up this summer.

i bet! i dont know how to make structurally sound carbon parts, but it’s a tailgate, so i dont expect you to be putting 500 pounds of bricks on it and stuff. it seems like its not going to be a typical work truck. we can most likely make a cf frame or sorts and skin in with CF. this is the reason I wanted to do this for my car as well. nobody really makes stuff i want for my car from cf and i figured i can at least try to make something simple like wrapping some stuff, making molds and making some parts. i figure we start with smaller easier more flat and uniform parts and then just keep stepping it up as we progress. as far as vacuum sealing? i was goin to buy a food saver from wallmart for sealing small parts. i do not plan to purchase the large vacuum industrial machine for making structural parts because its big and really expensive. ill stick to smaller parts that look nice so if they break the car’s safety isnt compromised.

Its a piece for the rear bumper, to mount my legit battery shutoff switch on. It will cover the hole and area nicely, and will make it a bit more stable mounting point when riveted to the bumper.

idk about 20, but if we get like 3-6 ppl i think itll be okay. itll be enough room for everyone to stand around the part being made and see well enough. even if two ppl show up and we end up doing stuff and not just bullshitting, id be happy. i want to make some cf bits
