Fabricate composite race-car parts with workshop discipline

For advanced owner-builders who already understand race-car systems and need a practical path from material choice to molds, layup, cure, bonding, and conservative repair decisions. The outcome is a builder who can make nonstructural and semi-structural composite parts repeatably, recognize safety-critical boundaries, and escalate rollover or crash structures instead of guessing.

Course Outline

Module 1: Choose fabrication jobs that fit your tools and risk

Frame the part, material, and safety boundary before any cutting, laminating, or bonding.

1.3 Match material to the part's job

1.4 Mark the safety-critical boundary before the build

1.5 Write the part requirement before the build plan

Module 2: Control the workshop before controlling the laminate

Set up clean, repeatable, documented work habits so materials can cure and bond as intended.

Module 3: Make tooling that controls the finished part

Choose pattern and mold methods that match the required shape, finish, thickness, and production count.

Module 4: Laminate and consolidate without hiding defects

Build from wet lay-up fundamentals into fiber orientation, pressure molding, vacuum bagging, and cure discipline.

Module 5: Build sandwiches and bonded assemblies deliberately

Use pre-pregs, cores, film adhesive, reinforcements, and subassembly bonding without overreaching into certified structures.

Module 6: Inspect, repair, and escalate with restraint

Use conservative acceptance checks and know when a part, process, or structure has left the home-shop envelope.
