  1. But it's come to my attention that we're entering an age with an even better material. Carbon Fibre.
    Carbon fibre is 10x stronger than steel and aluminum. Also, it is lighter than both of them. It is stronger than fiberglass and has some of the same lay up procedures.
    It has entered the racing circuit, used on dragsters, funny cars, and indy typer racers. Will it soon enter the rod industry (T's,A's,Model B's, and fat fenders)? Your thoughts..
     
  2. probably not any time soon
