hi guys, have been trying resin infusion..not so easy but have two days to improve the process...have recieved lots of glass and ordered kevlar cloth for the drivers door. I plan to have as much carbon at the front as possible, glass in the centre and rear and move the fuel tank to the boot, may get 45/55 weight at best...

also some aluminium parts I replace with 40% reduction in weight (resin & cloth) or from what I can calculate (30% for glass)

and nobody will make driveshafts although with prepreg it may not be that difficult..nah..
