Body Construction

The Pace 427 body consists of full gloss, perfectly straight body panels constructed using high carbon content composites which are very light weight (around 46kg) and a lot stronger than fibre glass. The doors are constructed from a carbon/kevlar combination which gives additional protection for the occupants from side impact



A wide choice of high gloss gel coats are available and the finish straight from the mould is exceptional to the point that unless you require a show quality finish, paint is not required.
I have chosen to go with the black with either a wide silver or satin black strip with narrow 1/2" stripes on either side of the wide stripe

The body, once removed from the mould is sat in a rack that holds the form of the body until it is ready for trimming. In the photo you can see the rack that holds one body upright and another on top upside down.

The body goes through a trimming process where all the rough edges are removed and a general clean up takes place. The body is placed aside for general curing ready to meet up and be matched with it's chassis. More on this next post.

Cheers
