The next pic is the roof mould in the oven with the carbon inlayed ,its in a bag that sucks all the air out to remove any bubbles ,the white stuff you can see is to absorb any resin that comes out of the carbon .

If all goes to plan this should be out of the mould on monday and will be layed on the car for a very rough look as the screen is still in ,then its on to the finishing and bond it on ,should have some more updates monday .

dave are you removing you old skin and leaving the frame underneath /

or you bonding over ?

what would be the possability of having one made with the sunroof cutout in it ???

would it have to be thicker than yours ect ?

You have really unique brain and gold hands. Your great ideas are inspiration for me but to carbon parts is too long time.
