Theres a lot of tech inside AFM, look into our Tech Articles section, and do a few searches on the forums and you will find tons of information.

The best source is most of the time AFM Moderators, but we have some pretty clever users too!

Tell us what you want to see published, and we will do our best to provide it.

He's a tech tip I found out the hard way when I was prototyping my car.

When using kevlar as a top coat. Do not sand it. It will become fuzzy and will not sand flat. If the kevlar has riples in it add fiberglass, carbon fiber or putty to create a layer that can be smoothed out. Or just use a flexible putty(like epoxy) if the area has any chance of flexing.

here's another one

Alternate layers of kevlar and carbon fiber for added strenth. Either can be use alone. Kevlar has a beter shear strength and carbon fiber has beter tensile strength. Together thay can be added together to combined their properties. More layer = stronger material

Ask and you shall receive. Every time I have ask for help or advice, I got plenty. If you have a specific question, ask it and I am sure there will be answers. This is a forum.

Here is a great Tech tip: Thou shalt not ask for many tech tips all at once. Verily, racing & Mustangs is TOO broad of a subject with MANY tech tips too numerous to list. Even one tech tip listed may not do much good if no one really needed it at the time. Just a waste of bandwidth. it would get lost and probably not even archived. For example, You probably would not be interested in a tip I got from an Enderle racing book on mechanical fuel injection about what percentage of Nitromethane was safe to run on a car set up with a methanol barrel valve now would you? You see my point right?
However! if you have a particular interest or question I am sure someone would reply. Possibly with a very useful answer, try to remember that even though this site has many knowledgable people it is STILL the internet and advice may or may not be accurate. Especially free advice. Take care and good luck with your LX!
