That is some truly awesome glass and carbon work, man.

I'm really good with glass, too. We had a big spray nozzle at work that leaked and I tried to fix it with glass. It leaked worse when I was done with it, and we threw it away.
I'm that good.

Are you back in Florida yet? If so let me know, we can get together and I'll show you what needs to be done to get going on composites. I've done some composite work in the past, mostly race car parts, but same principle. THere are some parts I'd like to get going on making, as well.

Nik,

Your CF work looks amazing! You've got wheels turning in my head. Wheels that are going to cost me a lot of money.

Thanks guys for your compliments!!!! Actually there isn't an easy "how to" method for composites, you've got to search the web, read books, make your hands dirty and try it yourself, but make sure you begin by doing "small" projects and expect to waste materials, in the end you'll succeed.
BTW I'm in no way an expert in composites, I still waste materials and kick panels when things go wrong :P:P:P
At the moment I'm building a new bodykit for my CBR .....

Damn, if I could make my own plastics, I would never have to worry about dropping it or scratches haha. Nicely done!
