Weight loss.
I’m in Connecticut, but I just watched videos on the Easy Composite website. Also watched videos from a guy the road races a mustang, can’t for the life of me remember his name. Buy supplies through US composites. Price seems ok, I buy the clearance CF with the glass trace fiber. Most everything I’m going to make has to be painted. I just dove in. You have to really pay attention to parallel surfaces when making the mold. Like making a mold of the 68 340 unsilenced fed air cleaner seems pretty simple. Blast it, prime it, wax it, and mount it to plywood with packing tape on the plywood. You would want to raise it off the surface 1/8” so it has a cleaner transition. Fill the gap with non hardening plasticine(clay) wax it and spray it with PVA release agent. Here’s the problem, the long parallel sides are going to make it a nightmare to get the original and any part out of the mold. Two piece mold eliminates that, but doubles the molding process. I had to use a hydraulic press to push my CF wiper motor out of the mold. Crushed the mold, part survived though.
