Thanks Norm, that's my understanding. Like most things the quality is about attention to detail. Getting all the air out and consolidating the material layers is what matters so the ratio of carbon to resin is kept as high as possible. I put a lot of effort into working the resin into the material first and then with a hot air gun and bristled roller really getting as much of the air out as possible. I repeat this for each layer and then using the final layer of peel ply (not shown in the photo above as it covers everything) really working with the roller to consolidate the layers. As for it being amateur; one, isn't that what kit cars are, and two, I'd put mine alongside a factory built car any day when it comes to quality and attention to detail.
