Glass T Roadster Bodies ('23 & '27) Who makes them?

Looking for different sources and different options- like opening doors, bed/turtledecks, stretched bodies. Let me know what's out there. Thanks Jim

 

speedway,total performance,custom classic roadsters,spirit industries,damn there are so many i will try to think of some more.

 

I asked a similar question once not too long ago......

I thought Poli-form still made them - which should be closer for you. Of course all the rave reviews on Wescott's too.
I think the opening door may narrow the search quite a bit. I was thinking most of the opening kits only opened one side too.

 

I'm leaning toward the CCR one.

 

Normal or stretched version? Their product looks like it's really nice quality. Wish I could inspect it in person.

 

Stretched

 

For $1750 (the price of the long body with opening door on the website) I am sure you could find a steel original body.

 

Are you looking for a single or to resell through your shop?

 

Resale- AND I want to get them molded in color- NOT the boring grey gelcoat.

 

didn't they used to offer them in metal flake gel coat....maybe bird or berry or...?? brandon

 

JimA,
Do you want 23's or 27's? Do you want one stock or longer/wider. Answering those questions will narrow the field.

 

How much does a 27 with non opening doors cost in usa?

Is this correct? 895$ for this body?

Same body costs 1000$ in Sweden but then you get the dash and floor too.

Jim,

You need east coast, southern, heartland, & west coast suppliers. It would save on shipping.

Yup. But they do have what is supposed to be one of the best bodies. You can buy cheaper bodies, but they are sub-standard quality.

 

That's EXACTLY what I want- does anyone know if that's a lost art. Looking for an extended '23 or a '27 WITHOUT the rear deck that can be bought molded in color- especially metalflake.

 

you might check with boat manufacturers.....old dog garage ( think thats it ) offers a stretched body....,maybe pm limey kid (stewart) he might know something....being that he was in that business... brandon
