Thank you Mark for your reply and great to meet you here. Will there be more than few of these to made? I sure would like to have one in future.

We had a mold made so we could make more. I want to see how the first one turns out before we make any more. I just had that one sent to the body shop to get fitted to the Red Witch. If every thing works well I will have a few more made.

Someone really needs to start producing Carbon Fiber body parts, like hoods, fenders, trunk lids, spoilers, ect. They wouldn't be able to keep them in stock. I hope this really is a start. Just my .02

I'd be really interested in a hood and decklid, but I know what the CF material costs are these days and I know what the tooling costs are. So I recognize that CF is probably not in the offing for my project.
That said, I know Mark is a sharp guy and has a lot of connections. If anyone would be able to find a way to produce such stuff at a reasonable cost he can. |

It would be nice to also make a stinger/yenko style hood and a CF trunk.  |
