I miss working with composites, so I'm looking to maybe get back into it. I'm thinking about starting out small, and work my way up to large body parts.

What do you guys think of carbon fiber valve covers? I was thinking maybe starting there. I can only be as one member put it here, a " parts jockey" for so long, the pay isn't good enough by any means, and my talent to work with these composites is going to waste.

I was thinking SBC valve covers to start with since they are the easiest, and most common of valve covers to produce for our engines. It would be a 3 layer design, 2X2 twill as the first layers, then a mid layer of Kevlar for strength and rigidity, and then a final layer of unidirectional carbon fiber for additional strength and help with the mating surface, and possibly an aluminumpiece that would run around the perimeter for gasket mating assistance, but I believe using some RTV would seal that right up.

So who would maybe be interested in looking into a set of these? I really want to bring my experience to our group, and to our chassis. I'm just looking to gain interest right now, see if it would be worth doing.
