DIY composite fabrication

I'm sure people have lots of interest in fabricating there own parts out of fiber glass, carbon fiber, etc. Last night I was up browsing on this topic and found a couple great resources.

http://www.racingcomposites.net/ - is a forum on fabricating anything out of composites.

I think I'm going to start by making a a cabon finber air iintake, it doesn't look like it'll be to hard. I have worked with fiberglass, and such materials before on boats and windsurfers.

If anyone has any more, articles, links, and advice to share that would be great.

This is an older magazine article on making race car parts, its a little dated but still very valid.
