Really, you just need to youtube how to work with bondo, and how to work with fiberglass. Carbon fiber is not that much different then fiberglass except I find it harder to cut cleanly. You would be surprised how many commercial fiberglass(and vacuum forming) molds are just bondo that has been gelcoated over. For a home project you just use styrofoam as a filler to get your rough shape.
