Percy's Hyperfiber

I found a product that I just have to talk about. It's called Percy's Hyperfiber. It's a pre-preg fiberglass woven mat that you can get with, or without wire. The wire, of course, it much easier to mold into various shapes.

I needed to make a base to start glassing the transmission tunnel. I thought of various methods, but started poking around the Summit Racing website for fiberglass and found this. It's truly amazing stuff.

What is so amazing about it? It's UV light curable. As long as you don't expose it to sunlight while you are molding it, the work time is almost limitless. You can cure it with a high power UV light or a black light (takes longer) or by placing it in sunlight.

I must say, I am very impressed. Here's a couple rough pics so you can get an idea...


I'll post some more pics after it cures. After that, traditional fiberglass layers will be placed on top of it.
