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.

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.
