Building my own engines now...after initial cost for the housing, the reloads are much cheaper...have some runs coming...and several that Thumbs hasn't posted🤷‍♂️...but none with this new engine combo....also, I have yet to wreck the car with the Camaro body or custom Factory Works chassis....dozens...

The cuts on the material are made at 45⁰. The layup of g10 is 0⁰ or sometimes 0⁰ 90⁰ so by cutting it from the material at a 45⁰ angle you are changing the way the material flexes.
