Too ambitious?, Want to make my own body kit. Options

[CAMAricer]

I guess the first thing to do is make molds of my existing parts to use as a template...

Does anyone know what kind of material I need (or will need) to do this? What's the cheapest practice material I can use to learn how to do this? Thin aluminum sheets? Foam boards? Paper mache?

And where is best place for me to shop for fiberglass, carbon fiber sheets, etc?

Just last week, I used bondo for the first time and it seems to me that with enough practice (and money), anyone could create their very own body kit out of these materials.

first timer? Dude, get some EXP elsewhere first. Build you a fiberglass box. Build your self a hood vent. Build yourself your own action-figure of yourself, but dont start that large.

Player; that was a new car's fabrication. A good example of how big a project could get. I think this guy is just wanting to save his money by fabing a near-replica of an existing kit. but if he wants to go all out, more power to him. Wont be fun though.

Carbondude, GOOD POINT ON THE BABY POWDER!! I never though of that... I alway get a longsleeve, gloves, ninja-mask and plenty of bandannas to cover all my skin up with. I never knew that baby powder would work the same Learn something new everyday!
