Why Did We Destroy a $2k Carbon Fiber Hood?!?!

[@MFcomm66]

Wow. Well, you guys have definitely validated how truly strong carbon fiber is. The jumping up and down and having it pop back into place is crazy

[@JesseAndMike]

That was awesome! Didn't expect it to pop back after every test!

[@cjponyparts]

Me neither!

[@dinkydotzero]

So its pretty strong, but how much stronger is ups to have damaged it in shipping?

[@cjponyparts]

Crazy right? We need to see what they do to it

[@Boosted_on_deuces]

Definitely not forklift proof. Ask me how I know..

[@jonasirw1]

Interesting... it would have been interesting to do the same to at a regular metal hood for a side by side comparison

[@imAwesome4lyfe]

After all that makes you wonder how it was damaged in shipping

[@cjponyparts]

Same thing we were thinking!

[@astralhitchhiker12]

I can't beleive it withstood the rubber ducky. 😱

[@rj-hz2ct]

theres no demonstration on carbon hood car crash vs normal metal hood could you do one,i think this test will benefit alot

[@northwayperformance]

Yall should have run over it with the Bronco!

[@cjponyparts]

Don’t worry we did that later

[@ubacow7109]

Im curious what the layup construction or binder matrix is. I'm no expert so hopefully someone chimes in but doesnt CF fracture typically unless the resin used to bind it is really soft?

[@Stangdriver2020]

What is remarkable is how easily it is repaired as well. I took a course to learn how to make and repair composites and the weave carbon fiber repairs as strong as new. The equipment to do it is really expensive especially for larger size pieces such as the hood in this case. We did a repair on a large hole on a jet wing while on the jet and the results were impressive. After it was repainted you would never know it had a basketball size hole in it.

Too cold to drive your cars? Stay inside, drink beer and destroy car parts Hell yeah!! Seriously though. That hood was pretty tough.

[@cajunqueen1971]

It would look good on our 22 GT Dark Matter Gray Metallic! I was thinking of a Super Snake hood for her, but now I am leaning to the carbon fiber hood! We can get an early Anniversary present!😉☺

[@steveb8883]

@@cajunqueen1971 better do it before Thunder on the Mountain.

[@cajunqueen1971]

@@steveb8883 🤔That is a thought! We would have to get the hood pins re installed. Then we can have 2 mustang hoods in storage, a race red one and a gray one!🤐 If we keep going we will be able to build another mustang! We will just need the frame and engine.😂

[@975gms]

This surprised me. Can't even imagine what UPS had to do to damage it while it was still packaged up. Maybe one of their planes ran over it?

[@SV6Mustang]

Never thought I would see Bill jumping up and down on a hood...

[@cjponyparts]

Me neither. - Bill

[@Raorl173]

Shame, kids in Africa could’ve used that bumper on their car

[@cjponyparts]

Best comment 😅

[@MoparRican_93]

$2k mini trampoline???? 👀🤔

[@whpony96]

Just think how strong it would be if it was actually forged in a autoclave!

[@PASquared]

Not exactly scientific but I think it was still a good demonstration

[@cjponyparts]

Oh there was almost no science involved lol

[@thelastdetail5044]

Which hood was that?

[@cjponyparts]

Anderson Composites GT350 style for the S550

[@edavidson38]

Contact the shipper and find out what the hell happened in transit? Did a crate engine fall on it? Did Superman attack the truck? Maybe the Hulk?

[@jeniferdiamond7723]

Yea the epoxy is what holds the shape, carpon fiber itself is a fabric. This is why that sub imploded

[@robertmoore1505]

The clear coat is the main issue. After a couple of years under the sun... That expensive cf part will look ugly as heck.

Making money is an action.keeping money is a behaviour,but "Growing money is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago.✅

No doubts! An expert like Mr Schwab Charles is very good,I invested $ 5,000 and withdrew $17,000 in 2weeks (he's amazing and transparent).

[@stevenjoseph206]
