Because i had to mill some parts, i've integrated my uppermill in wy workbench.

Once this was done, i was ready to start. The alu part on this picture will be mounted on the frontside of the crossovertray.

First is made a dummy out of cardboard. This was necesary to have a preview of the actual result.

Posted Image

Afterwards i made a drawing on a 8mm MDF board

Posted Image

Afterwards i used an electrical saw to cut everything out.

Then i mounted a smal piece of wood on top of it, so that it was easy to work with my copymill

The 8 curves have been sanded by hand.

This is the model that will get milled out of aluminium

Posted Image

Posted Image

Here you can see that i've glued a 5mm alloy piece to the MDF board.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Afterwards i've used the copymill again to mill everything nice and easy...

Posted Image

Once everything was ready i found it rather *****. I didn't like the result because it was too thin.

So i took another 8mm aluminium piece en started all over again.

As you can see, i've used the original 4mm part as a mould for the new 8mm part.

To obtain the same design as the grill on the subbox, i had to work magic.

Remember this??? The difference between the holes.

Posted Image

First i made a board with a thickness of 8mm so that myuppermill couldn't flip over.

Posted Image

Then i've milled out the 2 parts. Here i've milled 3 mm deep.

I've created a crooked side on the back of the alu plate. This is because i'm going to work it into the polyester. This will make it easier to take out the piece.

Here i've made a carbon box for my Sony PSP.

The horse on top of the box is an original Ferrari logo.

i've polished the aluminium part.

Firt i've monted it on al MDF board to protect my fingers from getting burned.

this is the result after 2 hours of polishing.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Here you can see how it should like like when it is finished.

as i've said before: on the frontside of the crossovertray.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Then i started taking some serious risks.

The straight part needed to be "less straight" so i had to bend it.

Therefor i created this.

So, now the part is ready to integrate in the rest of the booth.

Now i need to make a piece to mount on the backside of the aluminium part. this will be made out of carbon.

I've milled the model out of a 3 by 22 mm MDF board

Afterward i had to mount them back to back.

Posted Image

Posted Image

This will be used as a mould.

I've made the thing so that i can use my 2 hands while working.

Posted Image

Here you can see that the part can spin.

Posted Image

I've used some paper tape.

Afterwards i've covered it with a layer of carbon en 4 layors of polyester.

Now that evering thing is dry, the mdf parts are no longer needed.

So i'll use a saw to get them out.

I'm not sure if it will work...

It's a risk i had to take.

Posted Image

I continued taking the piece out of the mould.

I had to clean it up a bit.

Posted Image

With an electrical saw i was able to remove the biggest pieces.

Posted Image

So now you see why i made the 2 holes in the board. Much easier to saw!

The rest was taken out by hand.

Posted Image

This is what it lookes like on the inside. In the middle you can see whe the 2 pieces of tape came together. after a few more layers of epoxy, it will look spotless.

Posted Image

Time to use my GIANT sandingtool.

Posted Image

On the other side i've sanded the curves of the allow part.

Posted Image

He're i'm using my router to mill out a piece of plexyglass.

The plexy will get mounted on the backside of the allow part.

Posted Image

This is how everything should look like in the end.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Don't go thinking that it's done! I planning on doing something special with the carbonpart, but i have to figure out if it is possible and if i have enough space to to it.

Now i going to make the front to mount on the crossovertray.

I still need to make a piece of plexy to mount on the rear of the carbon tray

Posted Image

Posted Image

Plexy mounted.

Here y ou can see how it will be mounted on the frontside

Posted Image

Posted Image

Here you can see the frontside of the crossovertray under construction.

I've made a board out of MDF with left and right exactly the same curves en mounted them in the trunk.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Afterwards i've filled it up with poly.

Once it was dry, i did the same on the left and right side.
