Carbon / Kevlar body panels?
If one was to replace ALL exterior non-loadbearing panels with carbon-fibre / kevlar panels (I can make them and the moulds...) which bonding agent would you use to attach them to the chassis and each other?
The panels I was thinking of (for my fezz...) were..
front wings
bonnet (with reinforcement)
slam panel (with / reinforcement)
front panel / headlight panel
door skins (from lower edge of window)
complete rear quarters
tailgate (with reinforcement)
Sill skins
Scuttle panel
Roof skin (with reinforcement & sunroof hole )
Rear panel (with reinforcement)
The idea is not so much to save on weight, more as long term corrosion prevention as the panels will probably be painted (although the matt CF looks very nice )
So, any thoughts?
