Michael sits down with David Belchamber, founder of Killer Dave’s in El Cajon, to explore the specialized craft of repairing and restoring carbon-fiber automotive components. Dave explains the difference between cosmetic and structural damage, when carbon fiber can be repaired safely, and when a component should be replaced. They also discuss cracked and scraped components, cloudy or yellowed finishes, matching the original weave pattern, recreating a factory-quality finish and the potential cost advantages of repairing an expensive OEM part. Dave also shares how he entered this highly specialized field, the story behind the Killer Dave’s name, some of his most challenging projects and what it takes to earn the trust of exotic and high-performance car owners. Recorded at Amplified Studios in Carlsbad.
