A guy I knew made his own fibreglass 1302 bonnet because he couldn't buy one, and his friend made a whole fibreglass Fastback shell! If you can make the mould you can make the panels!
Or failing that, cut up the flip front from the original TikiMadness? I know it'll have no return lips, but it'll be light! Title: Re: HELP WANTED LOOKING FOR FIBREGLASS BONNET Post by: tikimadness on January 11, 2008, 17:32:39 pm didn't think off cutting off the front of the old car ;)
Just spoke to Shane from the paintbox and allthough he couldn't help me it was a usefull phone call(learned a lot ) I'll keep looking for awhile before I decide to make something myself. michael Title: Re: HELP WANTED LOOKING FOR FIBREGLASS BONNET Post by: Jesse/DVK on January 11, 2008, 18:33:45 pm At the monster garage episode of the Sauer Kraut gasser they also used a fiberglass bonnet. I thought it had an Empi logo on it.
