Incredible work!!! The attention to detail is second to none. I have some carbon fiber cloth at home I've been wanting to use for covering misc. parts. I need to get working.

I would be concerned about corrosion though.

That is one heck of a fabrication job!

I've worked with fiberglass, but never carbon fiber. Does one use fiberglass resin on CF or do they use something different? Love the look, especially when the finish is polished.
