Making Carbon Fiber Parts I was thinking about getting started making some carbon parts.
Any tips from anyone about what products are best to use or what method of production works the best.
Or anywhere I can snag a deal on the carbon or epoxy.
Thanks...

I'm going to use this bigass head.
Overall, I'm happy with it.
Then installed it on the bike.
After it was dry, I assembled it, and riveted it together .
Of the bike, followed by priming and painting the fender.
