fiberglass book suggestions
hi, any suggestions about a good book about automotive fiberglass fabrication, molding of complex parts and so on?
in the web i found a lot of informations, but i would like to find something better, if exists) thanks! |
I got this book and DVD via CompleteKitCar and it certainly helped a complete beginner like me.

It starts from post #990 if you scroll down on this page. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...t=3492&page=50 Cheers, Paul. :) |
i saw your project, veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interesting!!!
i like Sammio very much. also my car will be of the same color as yours) (a Guzzi powered Pembleton Brooklands) good luck and keep working hard! |
Agreed, very cool project! In terms of book recommendations I can certainly suggest you take a look at The Fibreglass Manual by Keith Noakes. Very detailed and informative without bogging you down too much.

"The Fibreglass Manual" by Keith Noakes has been my bedtime reading for several months. Very comprehensive but a bit repetitive - he says much of the same for moulds as he does for parts but I found some useful tips even though I already knew the basics.
