This is so much easier than you'd think. Thanks for putting this together. Ive been weighing the options of doing my own or buying a kit. This definitely makes me lean towards a DIY.
This video is epic! Great tutorial and very relevant for my build. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video! This is exactly what I need to know for my winter project.
I got a whole bunch of stuff from us composites luckily they are local so I can just go to the warehouse, they are very helpful too they asked me about my order and suggested different products based on the application I told them about.
This is definitely one of the better videos on flares and even carbon fiber 👍🏻
Wow Dude I just binge all your video on Carbon Fiber for beginners play list… Men you have so many skills a one man production company… builder, CF business, race car driver, race car builder… Well youknow all your trades… I am blown away your videos are awesome…
I came across your channel due to the fact that my sone order a hood from Seibon and it came in a crapy car-board box and at the air scoop the top coat came damage.. So my sone enlisted me to fix it… wish me luck first time dealing with CF…
Thanks for making your videos 👍
i love this stuff! You are awesome, AJ! doesn’t need to be perfect, because race car. honestly, i see no real reason for carbon fiber otherwise. keep up the great work.
Love this style of video. As a former plug and mold (non automotive) builder seeing how other guys do it I always pick up something new.
You really humble me man! I can't believe your approach here. It's awesome!
this is the simplest and looks like the fastest fender flares i is seen around UA-cam, great job and love that new edge mustang get some love, not many new edge track cars in UA-cam. Getting some inspiration to do my own carbon fiber DIY
So glad I found this channel I’m rebuilding my 2001 GT that was the only thing that managed to survive the huge fire that hit paradise and burned the whole mountain down and all thanks to the power company. Billions in damage and killed 100+ people.
Do you have any custom parts that you offer or anything like that? I need to replace a few things becuase there were some spots that got hot so some shit needs replacing and I’m in love with carbon fiber. I wanna do my fairings for my Honda CBR1000rr too I’m gonna start at your first video and binge my way through you won me over with the New Edge
Its kind of lots of work for me... but i like watching how its done by a Pro Thank you 👍👍
Been watching ALOT of your videos man, great stuff! I'm getting ready to start a full CF conversion on my camaro so I'm learning all I can from ya!
Let me know how that goes.
@AJ Hartman Aero will do, appreciate the response!
Maybe I don't understand the measurement segment well enough, but it seems like a problem with a lot of these flares that go straight out from the body: Won't the tire smash into it as the suspension moves through the travel? Or are you planning only 1" of travel?
Great video, thanks for sharing!
love your videos im learning a ton, gonna take a shot at making a set of fenders using this technique for my time attack car. do you mind telling me what epoxy you used? was it just the tabletop epoxy for the whole part?
This channel just needs an film editor and that's it but this feels so much more practical and personable. your videos content is mind blowing...
Thanks for another great vid. Helps out a lot
I have so many ideas now!
Thanks for sharing AJ! Greaetings from Germany ✌
Awesome car and awesome Intresting how to build with carbon I just order so I can try to make a splitter
How do you get the carbon to shape like that when you put the epoxy on? When i tried to put carbon fiber on somthing thats has a shape/curve, it just wanna straight out again
This is an amazing video. I am really enjoying your older videos as well
This opens up so many possibilities!
Wow this channel is crazy!
I love your videos bro wish I can be your protege
loved this DIY skinning tutorial.
yep finding ur channel was a blessing. watching you do this made me realize... my m3 e92 cant be my track car lol ill faint if i cut the body like that
Can you comment or do a video on if there are differences in the epoxy you use in this process vs. full-on bagging? Maybe also talking about the UV resistance too?
The hardest part I keep running into is making the other side symmetrical with the first side made. Whether it's fender flares or fenders. Do you have any advice for that?
You’re a very inspiring.👍❤️🇨🇦
That's pretty cool
That was awesome!
great video. I've made some parts myself too, but you make it look super easy. Thanks for making cool videos.
Great video!
Nice job man
That’s awesome. Thanks for all the helpful knowledge. I’m working on building some custom pieces for my project truck and going to use some of your techniques to make them out of carbon. Is there any specific type of carbon to purchase and have you ever done anything with the chopped carbon look or method?
Sweet channel man. Very informative. Thank you
Hi AJ, I'm starting with carbon fiber, and you do it much faster than the tutorial I've seen so far, they always recommend to: epoxy, wait 1h30/2h until it's tacky, lay cloth... and that between each layer, but you wet it, add layer upon layer in one row ! That clearly works, so why bother with the waiting between layers, are you using a special epoxy or is it something else ? Thanks
No special epoxy. You can do several layers at once. Just be careful if thermal runaway with to many layers at once.
@@ajhartmanaero Cool thanks for your answer.
great work 👌
Awesome job. What thickness of carbon do you use for the flares?
Fr3aks_Life a mix of scraps of 3k, 6k, and 12k.
Good job awesome 👏🏻
question why so aggressive with the sanding ( 80 grit) why not a 600 grit?
Is it stronger doing pieces or whole pieces better
Awesomeness
I tried hot glue on insulation foam and didn't hold at all any recommendations for glue, the only thing that work was super 77
I think Im going to try this technique to flare my front bumper to cover the front of the tires! Could you just bond it to the car? or will that not hold?
Great video man! Any tips for a diyer how to bake a big panel and rough temperature to run it at?
Yeah. I did an oven video. And your epoxy supplier will have specific specs for cure temps.
Nice work. Ian in G.B
Around the 25 min mark where you finished sanding and applied the table top epoxy. I thought you can’t sand carbon fiber or it frays. I have a painted carbon fiber part I would love to go back to a bare carbon look. Can I just sand down to the carbon and then re clear it?
AutoXandTrack you should be able to.
Nice video. Thanks!.
But i have a few questions
Please reply if you can
#1. Time 14:00 what epoxy system and hardener (slow, mid, fast) do you use
#2. Time 19:30. Same question as above
#3. Time 19:32. The process looks like a carbon fiber skinning. My question. why you didn't wait to base coat get sticky to the touch to put a last finish layer of CF? . I noticed you applied a base and put the final layer right over it and wetted out.
#4. Time 22:55. Table top epoxy. What hardener you used . Slow, fast mid? Is that coat came out clear ?
Thanks
Awesome thanks for the great tips! Got any videos coming up on the lost foam technique ?
Esteban Echandi no. I prefer to tape over any plugs. Much cleaner. I’m sure there’s a part where that technique would be better tho.
Great stuff, per usual! Question, since you coated these in the epoxy that is more used for table tops would they still have the same release characteristics if you decided to make a mold of them in the future to reproduce them? Not saying you will I have my own project going on and am asking more about that. Thanks!
pstrybel I mean pretty much any surface can be prepped to be released. So yeah
Take the time to form the foam etc right on the car and pull a mold from there. He spends way too much time filling and sanding and still ends.up with an inferior part.
Using aluminum tape helps so its not wavy n uneven
Ah good point. It can hold a little more shape than packaging tape.
Very nice!
can i lay carbon over factory pannel and pop it off. doing both sides then mating it ? like trunk or hood? or even dash?
Daniel Rotolante technically yes but that’s not how I’d do parts like that. I’d make a mold for those.
did u make those slits so that you could tact weld the inner well easier?
What type of foam is that - looks like insulation board? I guess it doesn't need to be epoxy resin compatible since the packing tape protects the foam?
lowside67 yes
What did u use to remove the tape from the car?
Do you have any videos on how you went about replicating your car panels in carbon? Did you make a mold of the original then lay up carbon in the mold or do some sort of over lay like you did in this video?
No. But they are done from a mold of a panel. Not an overlay.
@@ajhartmanaero thanks man. I was just curious. That seems like a lot of work but looks great and functional
I'm really curious if you have any tips and tricks for making two sides of a car as symmetrical as possible (in those situations when you actually care)?
templates and measurements mainly. since I used the same thickness and layers of foam on the stock body, coupled with some measurements it was good enough for me. There are tools that can copy and transfer shapes. Its one of those "whatever works" situations.
@@ajhartmanaero Thanks!! And to be clear, I didn't think you were too concerned about making this project perfectly symmetrical or anything, but I imagine you do on others.
@@tptrsn when it’s necessary yeah. This project was a “close enough” deal.
@@ajhartmanaero I loved it though!! :)
I’m joining this chat a bit late. Quick question; do you not have any concerns with the parts warping during cure due to laying the carbon weave in the same orientation/direction?
Not on something like this. Not saying it won’t, it’s just not dimensionally critical and any warping isn’t a concern.
For lighter fairing you can use WEST 407 low density with epoxy for strong light fairing. Because of the dark color you can't use the 410 it's actually lighter. Here's a link www.westsystem.com/407-low-density/ Much stronger and lighter than bondo.
Hey AJ which kind of foam did you use for your mock ups. it looks like the insulation foam you can get at home depot.
Samuel Wu yup
What type of foam is that and where do you get it?
Home Depot Racing pink insulation
where do you get you supplies from?
Whoever has the best price.
You’re always itchy. I see why. Nice final product.
The rears look suspiciously similar to mine 😂 go check out 7seconds timeattack ig or fb
smurffi racing ya got me. I snuck into your garage and 3D scanned your car one night haha.
Looks like crap though
With a name like bukake Jack, I’ll take that as a compliment.
