Hi Danie, I found this American engineer on KZbin that explains it so nicely how strong the different types of fibreglass is. He calls himself “builder creator “on KZbin and he is building his own racing car but the way he is going about is simply brilliant. You can certainly learn a lot from Jay. I would love to have your feedback.He also made a clay extruded to partition the mould. Please watch , you will lear a lot from this guy.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

​@@BroughBuilt SO I for some reason thought that this was now the mould you would use to make many or more than one body shell for race car or cars ,,,a mould so if the guy crashes the car and destroys the left rear quarter you can simply just glass him up a replacement,a mould that you can lay down a jell coat first and the colour you want the car to be ,,then just spray glass and nock out a dozen if you like so you can sell a few on the free market as i know people who would be interested in buying a full set of prefab panels ,,,so if the guy you built thia for destroys the hood or the drivers side door and wing he will not be able to get any replacement parts like or the same as the originals because they will not be available and its not like you will be able to fab up just the door panel or any singular part the same as the original correct ??? so its a one and done and if he damages any of it he has to get a complete new body shell made from scratch ,,,yeah not how i would like to do it . you have done an amazing job,i just thought this was stage one and building the mould not stage one and done ,,,so much effort for something that cant be easily replicated unless you turn it into a mould .

You have demonstrated great integrated thinking and deserve great success. I did notice that no one was wearing a face mask when sanding the polystyrene. It gives off micro particles which you are all breathing in. And if any of you are smokers too, it will for sure have a bad outcome. Please take care, you guys are valuable, and I know face masks are a real pain, but the alternative is so much worse!

This is already being done in many industries. Boats, aerospace, blades for wind turbines, automotive, etc. Pretty much anything composite uses multi axis routing to cut patterns from foam. There is some very advanced stuff being done that, unless you are in the industry, you don't ever hear about. Sometimes we scan things but that's usually to bring digitization to legacy products. More often than not, we go right from CAD model to routing.

Looks like fun to me. Good idea for making the mold/cast/form. I like working with fiberglass, even if it's a bit messy and stinky. I've not attempted entire car bodies, but have done door panels and subwoofer enclosures. A guy taught me how to create body kits (ground effects) for any car, but haven't tried that yet. He used drywall mud over plywood to create the forms, then made a reverse of it and laying the fiberglass up in the reverse.

Great video! Kept my attention the whole way through as well. Just a few questions I hope you can answer: with your new fiberglass method being a lot more flexible... if you were going to make this for a road-worthy car, how much stiffer would you want it to be? I'm assuming you would achieve this by adding more layers of your new-method fiberglass... but I'm not exactly sure. And if you would add more layers, would you add them on top or on the bottom of each panel? Just not exactly sure on what the exact methodology would be and was hoping you could explain/elaborate on it. Thanks!

I am betting when they hang the body on the chassis the body to chassis mount or support system will also become the inner body support system giving the body much more strength. I did expect the initial body to be a mold not the simi finished body. I would have made it a mold so more body pieces could easily be replicated but when each body section is finished, it can also be used to make a mold before final mounting, maybe that is the plan. These guys certainly know what they are doing so I had to subscribe so I don't miss any updates in the future.

Great idea, well documented process! I am personally always troubled with Styrofoam, because it gets all over the place whenever I am making anything from it. Then I tried the idea documented by some Asian KZbin posters... they dissolve pieces of Styrofoam in acetone and produce a very useful gluey compound. I am now used to vacuuming all the dust and pieces of Styrofoam and creating the mass for future modeling and surface filling and repairs. In your case one liter of acetone would dissolve the whole quantity of Styrofoam, that you had to dispose off somewhere and ultimately pollute the nature. More acetone would produce a less viscous glue.

Also in your comparison, its not that the 3 layer mat weave is "stronger" it is actually more flexible. Carbon Fiber hardens to be very strong and more rigid than Fiberglass thus the brittle nature and breakage. Chopped strand also hardens to be more rigid. But the weaved (and criss-crossed lay down method you did) delivers a much more flexible and forgiving part which, I think is what you want in those body panels so they won't shatter in the event of collisions or impacts with the wall.

I just started your video - and I had to pause for a minute to insert this comment. Thank Heavens I finally found someone on here that thinks a bit like I do! I have been searching for weeks looking for information on something like this! KZbin is full of expansion foam ideas. With my car being a daily it has to stay operational.... I want to custom my dashboard and this type of foam is the way I want to go... This way (I hope) I'll be able to create custom panels and then attach them over the existing dashboard. Just in case I do something outrageous I won't ruin my dash. Anyway, I gotta get back to your video. My car is in need of some surgery 😂

This is ace, I used to make model plane wings by hot wire cutting foam and I also made a hood for my sporting trials car by this method.

Actually 5/5. I think this brown looks really elegant with its shift. It really made thr lines of the car pop.

I saw a lot of bodymaking videos, this one was very interesting approach. Thanks for sharing. I really wonder how joins between the "zones" of epoxy will react. You know Epoxy is not applied as polyester. You need to do it in one shot like you did. But borders i don't know. Thanks again.

Looks like you sandwiched some biaxial fibreglass in the 3 layer test piece which would explain the impressive bending performance along that axis. The biaxial will be 3-4x stronger along that axis than traditional woven. So it makes sense that the CF with only woven cloth, despite being a stronger material, broker sooner.

Looks good - how do you control the symmetry of the mould. I would personally probably lose sleep knowing there could be inconsistencies .

woven mat is the best . my dad had a canoe company we used a mix of woven strand and balsa wood. he used to demonstrate hitting the canoe with a sledge hammer the same force it would be if it fell off your truck. never broke

Absolutely fascinating process and another brilliant video. I'd be tempted to have scanned the model then in a CAD programme sliced it up from front to back at regular intervals to recreate life-size bulkheads then cut the polystyrene between those shapes as you've done. Mac, England :)

Thanks dude, I’m embarking on a project and mild building/layup is a part I’ve been trying to nut out before I start. I’ll be utilising a CNC router for shape but your layup method and finishing is mean as!

Hello Hello From Canada!!! I am new to your channel and this is an excellent introduction for me to seeing your talents. That was incredible just how much the 45/90/45 weave combination after so much abuse and I agree that you should use that method in your future projects. I was very surprised that you didn't make quick molds of the parts so you could ship out emergency after crash panels to the racecar owner when needed. Are you planning on getting any after/installed video footage, or at least some pics to show how nice the car looks now?? Stay safe, stay healthy and I hope you are as happy as you possibly can be. 🤘😁👍

Love your work been following the RV build series and feeling inspired to try and make my own fiberglass fenders for my old Jeep XJ, as a fellow South African I find it quite difficalt to find the polystyreen and fiberglass supplies would you mind sharing where you get your supplies from would also love to know where you get your fiber board used in the camper. Anyway thanks alot for this quite insparational seeing your work.
