Yeah.
I was going to do the whole thing but for my fist CF project I wanted to start easy.

I have very little experience with cf, but we used vacuum also to help form shapes with bags and molds. I was thinking it may help hold the cf & resin nice & tight against the bar.

I know, I'm just screwing with you. A write up with pics would be over the top.

So here are some current pics.

I re-wrapped the whole bar in CF and then painted over the sides for a better flow. I still need to sand down the paint and put on another coat and some more clear.
