Aaron,
Thank you for the hard work on the project....... They look excellent, and can't wait till the next project to finish. By the way, I might have just became a CF *****, and i have more pieces waiting for you to be worked on..........

Thanks guys

Lately, it takes me about 3-4 weeks to finish just because the only chance i get to work on them are on the weekends.

No problem Vince. Im pretty eager to get this next one started. I want to see how smooth i can get the coat due to its shape. Expect some pics sunday night.

sorry im not gonna do a tutorial, but i will tell you that if you google search videos on how to do some cf work, youll find enough basic info.

Vince, I want to see your car. And hmmm.... maybe get some info from you.
Say, will you be at Laguna Seca May 15,17th? I'll be on the track on the 17th for a lap run. ZONC is the sponsor for the event. You should come to it. We have the VIP Parking.

Sounds good Vince, by the way, Sunday 17th is main day for us. Sat I do plan to be there, if I can get off of work. They're actually Fri, Sat, Sun. (15th, 16th, 17th). See you at the BBQ.
