Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber and epoxy

Got the hood made this weekend.  Six layers of fiberglass cloth and one layer of carbon fiber on top.  I got enough carbon fiber to cover the trunk also.

The trunk!

This was a challenging task.  I've never worked with fiberglass.
I prepped the mold with release wax and PVA.  8 layers of 6oz boat cloth and 1 gallon of marine grade epoxy over 5 applications.  It took an hour to release it off the mold.  trimmed the edges and i got a trunk.
