> Hello All,
> Well this one is mostly for Mark and Fergus our resident fiberglassing
> experts.
> I am going to start making my airbox this weekend. The plan so for is
> to shape the blue dense polyurathane foam into the shape I am looking for
> and then coat it with melted parifin wax to give the inside of the box
> a smooth surface. I will then do Marks lost foam thing and eat out the
> foam with acetone and then with boiling water to get out the wax.
> Assuming I get this far I have a couple of questions...
> I am thinking I probably need to make it in two parts, the base which will
> bolt to the carbs and the body of it.
> How do I make this a two piece thing and have one fit inside the other? I
> will probably need to laminate some kind of catchs into the airbox also.
> How do I cut the holes in the bottom of the airbox to mount it to the carbs?
> The box is going to be big enough to house my 4" vel stacks which means I
> have to cut out the inner fender.
> On the part of the box that sticks into the tire well I want to add a strong
> tubular opening in the front of the box facing the front of the car. I want
> to be able to attack some kind of hose that will feed forward to in front of
>the
> rad to bring in fresh air. What can I use to make the tubular form? Can
> I cut a piece of abs and just laminate it in?
> I will be using epoxy resin and carbon fiber for the final version I think.
