Anybody done one of these? I am working on one and would like to avoid any nasty pitfalls. I've done the mold plugs and will be pulling the female molds next. Then comes the carbon and epoxy. Any recommendations for the epoxy? I've found one with a Tg of 176F and that seems a little low, but I know the box won't get as hot as the engine. What about aging???

Thanks for any help...

Thanks, but it is for a Hilborn. I don't think that a Nascar box will work since they are made for a single carb. Also, I will be pulling cold air from beside the radiator instead of the cowl.

I want to build it myself to learn how. My question was if anyone has any recommendations for the epoxy.
