I am thinking of making a composite descklid for my Caprice. I can get lightweight hoods, but nobody makes a trunklid. Anybody ever mold their own parts?
I used to work with a guy that did custom hoods for Audi's, but I had no concept of what kind of $$ he had into the molds. I want to make at least one part, but if the cost is not significantly higher, I'd like to figure out how to make maybe a dozen over time. Looking to use fiberglass cloth, not chop strand, and will make both a top and bottom mold in order to maintain the trunk seal.
Any input?
