How to Make Carbon Fiber Quarter Panels for 240z (Ep #7) (4K)

[@Lolatyou332]

That isn’t making a carbon fiber panel, that is wrapping a panel in carbon fiber

[@REAPER3fitty]

Yeah this was a waste of my time.

[@cainlawson4570]

Watch farther in the series. He's using the car as a mold to make carbon panels

[@realgenericuser9169]

Until he cuts out the metal quarter panel and replaces it with the carbon fiber.

[@phantom5185]

@@realgenericuser9169 Shameily that's what I'll be doing very soon, to my 2012 Dodge Challenger Sxt. I don't have videos only pics.

You can make a mold of the car and the take a pic in solid works and render a whole ah carbon 3d car

nice a 3 year old comment before they brought it back, predictably lookin more like the 350z than anything else, with some 300zx lights in the rear.

[@trongtrong8168]

I just want to see companies bringing back classic cars with modern performance and modern comforts

[@garyengland5326]

If you're carbon skinning, why would you add more than one layer?

[@wildcat6669]

theyre not skinning it, theyre using the fender itself as the mold

[@colubrinedeucecreative]

Good stuff. Yeah 1.4 is great for the darker spots in that shop, looks good man. Diggin those ambient beats in the back too. Dope production value for a dope project. Random 240 youtube searched landed me here, and glad I did so! Best of luck on the rest!

@@StreetBandito If the florescent lights are messing with your gear Costco has the 8' LED's for like $20 when I was visiting A-Town just before the holiday.

[@automobiliphotographer6220]

Wait hold on, if you’re laying carbon fibre on top of the original body, will the fitment still be correct?

[@london6580]

Automobili Photographer I’m confused are they just skinning the car with Carbon or are they actually replacing the panels?

[@robertpaglinawan75]

@@london6580 Theyre laying it on the outside, removing the molded carbon fiber, then cutting all but the very edges of the existing metal panel out. Then they epoxy the carbon fiber panel to the remaining edge of that cut metal. So yes, the CF panel is a millimeter or two bigger than the original.

[@EuroGarageOfficial]

This man is a fucking god.

[@EuroGarageOfficial]

Street Bandito would love to see a video on a complete start to finish panel. Every step along the way. I would like to try my hand at the process.

[@YAMR1M]

Its just skinning not making a mould.... So why would you put PVA on the panel when you are NOT making a mould???? A mould is to MAKE the actual part... There is so much wrong that this is either not funny or its a bad joke...

Wish you would've made the rear quarters extra wide so you didn't have to run ugly over fenders.

[@zackbevington457]

So you’ve skinned the rear quarters with carbon ,you haven’t made rear quarter carbon replacements ?

[@MindDezign]

Im building a restomod 240 and a restomod 280 .Im loving this build Im doing a stock 240 Dash with carbon/ kevlar weave in black and red . to go inside my white car with red racing seats for some pop. Also making door cards out of the same black and red weave for a more complete look leaving the interior as gutted as I can on the inside.My 280 will have the same 240 dash but blue and black combo and door panels and blue seats. I really enjoy this build you guys are doing its both informative and fun .Its one kickass Z. People that wonder why your not building moulds, they dont know how much more work and time and dollars go into that. We are not millionaires just want to build a fun cool car. Carbon alone is 3 to 5 times the cost of glass. I think its cool your building moldless parts to show the guy in his home garage , you can do this with heart. Not endless bank account. Great job on car and on producing the videos. Your a good team. Im waiting already for the next...

[@OldAndyAndTheSea]

As I imagine your comment was directed at mine, I will respond. I do completely understand the time and efforts involved with making carbon parts - I do so a for a living. Not as a millionaire, as an individual, working alone in a home garage. Making molds actually SAVES you money, time, and produces a better product in the end. Ask me how I know this. Making tooling does not require exotic materials, it only requires knowledge, which admittedly not a lot of people have.... I've built molds out of Great Stuff spray foam, scrap bits of wood, and bondo. Those are not budget killers. Meanwhile, spending 10 bucks each time you coat your parts with epoxy, and the time wasted sanding - and waiting on cure times - generally costs more in resources than making one perfect plug (which can remake molds - which is a safe investment). Not to mention you are adding weight, and making the parts more and more brittle each time. That is not allowing full advantage of the material's physical properties. Take an air-y laminate and coat it with resin a bunch of times and you're begging for problems should the materials flex in any way.

[@MindDezign]

Andy Leonard well Ive been building sports cars and kit cars since I was 16 Im 62 now. I had my own restoration shop for 20 years building kit cars restoring vintage sports and racing cars. Ive worked in prepreg with carbon and kevlar military helicopter part production modifing mold design and build parts in autoclaves in advanced molding techniques. I have english wheel body panels , built fiberglass parts. This build doesnt require molds he is making a one of a kind. For this build.this method is as fast and a straight path to acheiving his objectives. If this guy makes molds and sells the part produced from them Its a huge head ache in shipping and producing flawless parts. This guy is doing a great method Its not aircraft quality but it is street racer quality. Making molds for what he is trying to acheive .doesnt justify the time and effort and cost. I admire this method simple easy fast and still GOOD .But if he was producing a kit car......well then he should come see you.

[@MindDezign]

Street Bandito well Ive done this so many many many times on just about every sports car you can imagine.Im documenting my builds as a matter of habit. I stay away from social media. I do enjoy Z car builds....they are just a great over all good looking , light weight sinple sports car. I tell myself all the time I need to find some one that needs subject matter to video ,edit and post. I have no interest in that hell after Im done playing in the garage. Id rather plug in my guitar and play some blues .That is imore fun to me then video editing.So I give you guys credit we have a creative builder and a creative vlogger that work well together. I worked in a movie theatre when the 240 Z first came out.One of the ushers , grand mother bought him a white 240Z .I was so completely jealous as I was driving my first build a " bug eye " Sprite. That Z was like a Ferrari Daytona in my eyes. Ive had in the past owned 8 First series Z cars from 70s- 78. I still love them for being roomy for a six foot Anerican but small enough like a porsche to be agile in traffic. And as unique and good looking from every angle. Its a shame they are being exported out of the US an sold over sea

[@timhicks2807]

Andy Leonard another contributing factor into not making molds would be the amount of space they would take up, I already have a huge section of the shop devoted to storing all the molds I've made for the products I sell. I agree the tooling gelcoat and faom are not bank breakers but this method for what im looking for as an end product work best for me. I appreciate the knowledge though

Not sure I get what you guys are doing, but are you just epoxying CF to the existing body panels for strength and look? Or what is the goal?

[@KnightDriveTV]

hahahaha....I've watched a number of your vids...this dude LOVES talkin about etched primer...LOL. Every time...."etched primer, gotta be etched primer for bare metal, no other primer, etched primer" Need a screen alert for the "etched primer" talk every time he gives it...haha.

[@mttattatt4277]

Amazing content y'all just talk too much

[@raymenmelecio4729]

What kind of liquid you guy using on the quarter panel the one with the brush before using the carbon fiber ?

[@TherieMade]

Resin

[@ReddList]

Just curious as to why you let the first layer of resin tack before adding the carbon rather than doing "resin - carbon - resin" all at once like with fiberglass?

[@truemenimprovedaily]

Jayden Tarnowski allowing the resin to get to a tacky state allows him to lay the carbon EXACTLY where he wants it so the weave lays in the way he wants it. Doing wet resin - carbon - wet resin on a vertical panel would allow the weight of the carbon to pull the weave down and mess up the straight rows

[@YAMR1M]

@@truemenimprovedaily with dry cloth putting carbon over a tacky surface will only lead to weave distortions (you can see them clearly in other videos) and this is usually done after the suface coat has lost its tack and keyed so the carbon can be laid and moved to try and remover or minimise distortion then resin is put over the top as this is a wrap/skin and not a carbon part. They should have pigmented the surface layer black too and the PVA coating is a total waste of time unless they ARE making an actual mould.. Its wrong in so many ways,..

[@donbarton1895]

If you use scissors with serrated edges the fiber will cut better and not push the fabric as you cut it.

[@donbarton1895]

Ok, I was remembering what we used when cutting the fabric for the Space shuttle in the 80s. I had a pair of scissors that had a shorter rounded blade like these shopping.roboz.com/micro-scissors-micro-forceps-groups/Other-Scissors/Extra-Heavy-Duty-Scissors-7-75-Serrated with the bigger handles it made cutting less of a strain on our hands.

planning on doing my 88 Supra body in carbon, so he fixes the body panels sands it smooth and then puts resin over the panel let it dry and then waxes it and then more resin to a tack than the carbon fiber? what does the first layer of resin do over the panel? What type of UV resin is he using?

[@dustinnall926]

question I am considering attempting to make carbon door cards from a 89 MK3 supra. The old panels were made from like a card board composite. Does the origonal viny need to be ripped off to make the fiberglass mold? I can not find much info on it. I figured they would need to be because the vinyl will leave a texture in the mold right?

[@mcshawnboy]

Hey man I subbed to your channel and I hit the Bell it's what I call "The KZbin Trifecta" and I am going to share it with a buddy & we do car's together. We just got burned by guy in Newark DE on a Datsun Roadster! He wants to go to the DIY carbon fiber route and trying to get the 411 from people who are actually doing and not just riding the couch! I looked up your address on Google Street View and any of Sisson Street near the Harbor ain't gonna have a John Deere backhoe and a billboard post! I got on the Map and I'm clocking you at 28th and Sisson Street by the long reptile mural on the bridge! I'd been looking at the block wall in the part of the shop most of the work was being done and I knew that I knew that place! I've worked at Baltimore Auto Body back in the day! The old owner had a POS basket case 356 by that post! The DC Sniper & Boy Robin were in the parking lot of the double D across the street and BCPD didn't run tag, just moved 'em along until a trucker at a prayer meeting in Frederick was not sitting on his hands, but he didn't get none of the reward 💰! Do you still have anchor pots in floor? We used a power tower to great effect before I-CAR standards were a thing or even the Internet to let you know when it was! I'd used my first plasma cutter there! Putting Mobtown on the map for something good! So is Tim Hicks the customer & the fabricator? Can an old skool guy drop in with coffee?

[@BrokeVetGarage]

Dude so sick!!! Datsun is def on my list. After this polar vortex is over I’m starting my e90 2jz swap, convertible and 2 door conversion. Basically going to be my version of the super car I have in my head (visually) come check it out dude!!! Keep up the good work!! 👌

Nice to see the DYI carbon work going on with your 240 build. Curious what clear you intend on sealing it up. ive done a few wet layup, vacuum bagged carbon hoods and trunks over the years and have had mixed results depending on the clear. Make sure you seal the underside with a coat as well engine temps seem to cause aditional off gassing with Westsystems epoxy. helps to heat up the part and make sure its fully cured before you clear it.
