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.

Starting small is always a good idea lol. I would suggest copying afew small things that are easy to replace. Like the tweeter pods on your doors, I made molds of them and made carbon ones. I have a big box of carbon we where throwing out at work cause we had a iso inspection and the lot numbers where outdated. Talk about right place right time lol. Fiberglass is easy to work with i've been working with it for almost 10yrs as a career and I said it then and will say it now,"if I can do it a trained monkey can" just need a lil artistic ability and every1 has that. Have fun with it tho. I want to do more on my car but have to wait, I am a nfs carbon freak so I will get all my ideas from that. My wife has placed my spending on a slim fast diet until we get moved into the new house which won't be built or 4 months. I tell her that she really has her priorities all backwards, Celi then house but she won't hear it lol. Have fun tho.
