Kraton create, refinishing mycarbon fibre body; lighter, stronger, nicer...

[LoriLiam]

Hi there,
After several months of using my body inc carbon fibre body ( thanks body inc.) , I finally decided to put the hands on it by doing it lighter , refinished in details and personalized... the body is really bullet proof but a bit heavy, so i decided to do it lighter by drilling several holes, also for a better air flow. Pictures are the actual condition of work in progress. Soon will be finished the ground and after the preparation for painting, it will be orange fluo color, to see it better from distance.

What you use to make the shape, is it over an existing body?

Yes... if you see the previous picture you can see that it’s a carbon fiber body from dead body inc. with red carbon fiber but it wasn’t really detailed as I wished, so after several months of use, I could verify how bulletproof it is. So I decided to correct all the little parts where it was not as I wished. The body is awesome made. The guys from dead body did a great work and I love my body. Just to correct some details needed to be improve and so I decided to correct them and to make it a bit lighter . Obviously in this way, also the air flow is improved for better cooling. I will use an orange fluorescent color so to make it visible from distance and also because it was my original idea when I decided to buy the body.
