Hi,
I'm a mechanical engineering student in new zealand and i'm doing a bit of a design project at the moment.
I'm trying to price up and design a cobra that could be built for under NZD$20,000 (USD$14,000) and if it looks like it can be done then i might actually build it!
At the moment i'm trying to price up the body, however im having trouble finding a supplier in NZ or Australia that can supply just the fibreglass body by itself.
has anybody made their own fibreglass body? How did you come up with a mould?
I was thinking that if i could find an accurate 3D CAD model of the shell i could take sections of it for every 12" along the cars length and strategic places around the nose, and then could have them cut out of plywood or MDF, then put them together with industrial foam inbetween and smooth them out to make a mould, then lay the glass over the top of that.
Is that a feasable idea?
does anybody have an accurate 3D Cad model that they would be willing to share?
Thanks for reading!
