KiD-ViD Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Im in for the lighest weight fiberglass hood you can make. They have one in motorsport but I think you can do it cheaper. count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Dominic, If you can come up with some high quality samples you should be able to sell your stuff through someone like MotorSport Auto in Orange, CA. That would significantly increase your potential sales volumes. The tentative pricing you've indicated looks like it will be competitive with OEM parts but in carbon fiber. That should be good enough to get the sales. I know I'd rather have the parts in carbon fiber because it solves the problems that the OEM parts currently have - weight, strength & durability. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Purds Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Dominic... are you the famed Dominic with the crazy alternator building skills? if so, have you taken a look at just how much power you would be able to pull out of one of the Z alternator chassis'? I am very curious, but the local shop told me I would be lucky if someone could pull more than 110A out of the stock cases... any opinions? (heh, if you are indeed one and the same) thanx, Big Purds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 nope thats not me, but you can use the chevy alt on the l6 with special brackets..... you can get those in 250 amp versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Purds Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I have already made my own brackets and have a 130A alt in there off of a 350...and my friend has installed another HO alternator (225A) in his 72 in the same manner...we both made our own brackets, its not too difficult...was just wondering about a HO alt in a stock case...

zero Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 somebody said it before, but i think that some zg flares spoiler and gnose would look very badass in unpainted carbon. man that would be sweet. Some fender mirrors would be cool too but that would be hard to form i imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest m35514h Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 You can count me in for a cf/fiberglass dash and center console, and maybe a 3in cowl hood email me at m35514h@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 None of these ever work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah, it's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of work. I've ventured into it myself, and personally I would never offer any to customers because of how much time it actually takes out of your life to do projects like this, unless it's your main source of income. I'm doing it as a hobby, and it's a very expensive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah even making simple stuff seems hard. People were wanting centerconsoles and interior pieces, jeez!!! I cant imagine trying to get all the molds made and then testing it all. It would be crazy how much theyd cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
