I spent all of 14/15 winter learning how to work with composites in my home garage. I've never done any body work before, so it was quite the jump into the deep end.
It came out decent, but a lot will be fixed/changed this season to make it a bit nicer. The front bumper protruded out too far, so I will cut and replace with aluminum panel.
Infusion is tough, and I had trouble keeping a perfect seal on the bagging material, so a few items got a little messed up. All in all, it works, and it isn't pretty, but you won't be able to notice it under a wrap.
The door skin weighs in at 2.6#'s; as you can see, she has no problem holding it.

finally got the dive plane on and did some testing last weekend at Pocono. Hitting top speed close to 150 mph and they didn't rip off, so that's good. i'll be going to VIR next weekend for Hyperfest and will compare data from last year to see how my corner speed are. but i also added 200 lbs of blast to the back, so that will also change the car's balance for cornering.
i used used 1/16th sheet to keep the weight down. they came out to around 22 oz each. only did single plane for now. might add another plane on the bottom, that's why i left room at the bottom. my buddy Jason Schmuck welded them. he said to use 1/8th sheet next time, much more easy to weld. they dont flex much at all.
