I agree with a lot of your complaints, Miami. I've been involved with vacuum-forming plastics, carbon fiber laminations, reproduction moldings and all that for several years at one of my former jobs, and I've always been inclined to make molds of fenders and such and try some fiberglass reproductions. I'm familiar with all the products necessary and the vendors that sell them. Once established, it would be a simple process, and I don't get why more shops/vendors aren't going that route. It seems like hoods and side skirts are where the road ends for them.
I've already made a two guage pod that sits in leiu of the left hand dash speaker cover. I'm very happy with it, though it is a little heavier than ideal. Marcus and Spy have both seen it, and they are encouraging me to make more of the same or different setups. My other concept in the works is a fiberglass center console. I figure every last bit of weight lost is an effort in the right direction. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)

Damn goat! That appears to be some nice work. You may have an ebay business waiting to happen.
