Has anyone used or been around the 1930-31 fibergl*** roadster bodies made by these guys:

I had a guy call me that wants to sell me a fresh body and a last refuge hot rod standard A frame. Never been around or built a fibergl*** car.

If the price is right around 2k is it worth messing with?

 

For 2k for the body and frame you can go wrong. imo

 

CAN or CAN'T?

 

I am thinking he meant cannot but...If your not a fibergl*** fan like ME Im on the fence.

 

I have built a fibergl*** body car in the end it turned out great. A ton of body work required to make smooth. I used rats gl*** body. Deffinately first and last fibergl*** build

 

I think you COULD go wrong with this deal...

 

Gotta do it just once in life even if just to know itchy you can be!

 

Naah, got that last week fixing the insulation under the house - ha ha.

Bab59, since you already said you're "not a fan" of gl***, unless you're getting it just to flip I doubt you'll ever be happy with it - I know I wouldn't.

Not bashing gl*** cars, if that's your thing swell. I just know I'd never really be happy with one.

 

What does a gl*** body usually run? Can I get the $2000 out of it and keep the frame?

 

I am doing a coupe now. You will have to install the floor, bond the doors, hinge the trunk and install all of the wood and tubing for support. It will take some time.

 

2K is cheap for all the work and time, required to produce that roadster body.. I would be interested for that price. They usually go for about 9K, just for a fibergl*** body. I am curious now!

 

Sorry I meant CANT. Seems like a good deal. Body and Frame I'd say buy it.

 

A friend has one up here, He bought it from somebody that never did anything with it,.. I think he might have a deal cooking on it, with a stock Model A frame for a little under 2K.

 

Unless you are very exp. at fabricating, you will get educated trying to hang doors.

 

$9000 for a fibergl*** '30 roadster body? A Brookville '30 roadster is somewhere between 5-6000. What am I missing?

I wouldn't be interested in a Model A in fibergl*** when you can get them in steel for a few bucks more.
