40k would be less then the monthly payment on the autoclave you would need to do it.

I’m intentionally being overly contentious since OP is either troll, or someone who says a lot of things he doesn’t mean to actually do. He can’t even keep the story straight on how he bought his car.

I am aware you can build some pretty good parts vacuum bagging at home. Guys were building their own carbon mountain bike frames this way 15 years ago.
