fiberglass bodies

anyone give some insight on what company built 30-31 phaeton model a bodies. the reason i ask is a friend bought one last year and there is no name on it that we can find. its a well built with good quality. anyone?

 

No idea who made them but a recently departed friend was a dealer. That was mid 70s maybe, but definately before 1980. They looked real good, heavy weight panels and very straight in black gelcoat.

 

i think gibbon made a 2-door 30/31 phaeton

 

gibbon, a friend built one in the 80's

 

Yep, Gibbons. Back in the 80's I ordered a 34 roadster body from them for a customer and almost ordered the Phaeton (high on my wish list) at the same time.

 

Wescott used to build the 30/31 two door phaeton body too.

 

I'm looking for a fibergl*** 30/31 roadster body.. does anybody repop these?

 

this one is kind of neat. looks just like a stock phaeton, until you lift the hood. there sits the reworked 4 banger with a miller head, 2 strombergs, and a mallory distributor. plus other things.

 

Geoff Carter (editor of Street Rodder) built one when he first started with SR -can't remember the brand - think it was Gibbon...

Yep - just confirmed it in the June '85 issue

EEeessSSHH! I seen a different company selling them for the same price. It's for a LSR, so fibergl*** wouldn't be eaten up by the salt. But, there's steel bodies out there for a 3rd of that price. Thanks, sorry for the hijack..

 

It could be a Gl***ic. They built complete cars that were sold though car dealerships in the 60's and 70's. There is a online board for them, it is http://gl***icannex.org/

 

who cares it Tupperware just wait for something real it will be worth it in the long run

 

Suppose you could splash a good body and make a polyester mold, then epoxy and carbon fiber for a LSR body?

 

That's a very labor intensive option.. but if I cant find a 30-31, then I will go with a poli-form 29 body($1400) It's an exact copy accepted by the SCTA ST/R cl*** rules.

 

I've got one for sale - an old race weight '27 Roadster body, has an old set of Stude rails with undropped axle/split bones front suspension.

This puppy gives me all kind of ideas.

Not a 30/31 but it would sure look cool in highboy mode and a big stick of balsa wood sticking up out of the rear seat.

 

I bougt a 27 Roadster body, but I'd rather have an A body.. for the extra room. I appreciate that, though! Jay

there's a guy in winder ga. who makes a good roadster body, also a 40 ford chopped with doors hung and gl*** installed, cant remember his name but he's sells on ebay.......

 

Here is one I'm interested in. 30-31 ford roadster doors and trunk not hung. Looks good to me. You have to call for price. I think they make hoods and 32 grill shells for them too.

You could die waiting for a steel body.
Most people want to build and enjoy their cars before they die.

 

This Johnnyeyeball dude really has a thing about gl*** bodies. We need to get him some counciling!l

 

i agree with you on that one ..lol i dont care if its gl*** or steel as long as it looks good.

 

agreed

 

67coronet on here is popping '30-'31 gl*** bodies. Good quality and the price is right. PM him. By the way, I believe Polyform used to make a nice two door tub a while back. Are they still in biz?

 

I own the Gl***ic molds for the floor pan/fenders. Sold the body molds last year; the buyer didn't want the fenders/floor. Available to any interested parties; very reasonable.
