Awesome site! I should copy all the manuals to the hard drive before they start charging for the information. My GRP plans are modest, but you never
know. Maybe a 40 foot yacht for Lake Erie?
So, Steve, are you going to go high tech? Vacuum-bagged Kevlar and carbon fiber?
Thunder Ranch has a car, the Lightening, that uses a foam called Divinycell that is
commonly used in aerospace apps and is very strong. I found that it was sold by a surfboard materials supplier (lost the link), and is available in a
cross-hatched pattern that could be bent into curved shapes, along with flat sheets. Could be interesting in a car body even with CSM and polyester
resin. Or, OTOH, it could be overkill for a non-structural application.
