All,

I want to start making my own parts out of fiberglass and carbon fiber. . .can anyone point me in the right direction of getting started on the right foot with this. . .I know there are a lot of books on the subject out there, but in reading the reviews a lot of them don't have the subject matter to cover making parts from start to finish. . .I'm interested in making carbon fiber and/or fiberglass center console, dash inserts, door trim/inserts, tail light panels as well as finding out about making molds of a pre-existing part to re-make it in fiberglass to fit my needs (this is mainly for making a Yamaha TZ250 aero tailsection that will bolt directly to my Yamaha YZF-R1 streetbikes rear subframe).

Thanks in advance,

Joel

They sell a how to video, starter kits, and they have a pretty wide variety of fabric, cost isn't great though.
