GRP F1 body shell construction - help needed.
Discussion
Hi all
I am after a company which can make a F1/single seater style body out of GRP. Not interested in aerodynamics or wings. It just needs to look the part as it is not going on a running car.
I don't just want any old GRP company, I want one with experience who can help me with my design (as in is it possible to recreate my design in GRP or will it be structurally weak etc).
Does anybody know of anyone?
Cheers,

The problem with this construction is you will either need foam cut to shape to form the glass fibre or carbon over, or a mould/plug/former whatever you want to call it. The mould can often cost a good percentage of the build cost. But yeah I would of though an absolute minimum of £3/4 thousand.
