A while back in Northern and Southern Rodder there was an article about a guy who was going to make stretched '27 T roadster bodies. I think part of the name was Stinger something. The project car was called Gelcoat Kid, or similar. Does anyone have a link to the manufacturer website or any info of what became of that? Thanks!
Not sure if this is what your looking for but came across it last night... New '27 T Bodies from American Track Roadsters They also have stretched '23s.
I think Rod & Custom had a source guide a few months ago about track type roadsters. I will check my book tomorrow and get back to you(working today)...if you don't hear from me in a day or so send me a PM reminder.
Dick Williamns at Polyform has a stretched '27 T roadster that's so subtle it's hard to detect that it's been lengthened.
He is at Columbus this weekend, I am just getting his website started. He was at Indy. He is starting to do really well, he has a few to build. www.stingershotrods.com I am waiting on the pics from him, He has a really quallity product. He is building one now for a big name guy, so that will help him get his product out there. He also did a rendering in Rod and Custom just a few months back, it was bas ass...
Tim...... I believe that you and I are possibly looking for the same manufacturer.... If not mistaken the Company was called Ecoast Cool Cars.... Read my recent post "Ecoast Cool Cars" Lost manufacturer....... Hopefully we can come across this guy......... Rags NJ
Brian Stinger ( Indy artist and car fab dude) and Mike Clark made the roadster kit a few years ago. They built a few cars and Mike Clark (owner of Westend Speed) finally closed his doors. Brian Stinger still does some artist work and is presently working on a killer project car for George Poteet. Lives and work in Greenwood Indiana. As far as i know the stretched roadster is gone...
I sat in one of the Stinger stretched roadsters a couple of years ago. I am 6'2" tall and although there was more room than a true 26/27 T it was still to tight for me. I have also sat in one of the Shadow Rods XLTs and it is really accomodating. If I had the bucks I would be building one now.
Bib, do you have any more pictures of that red 27? i have seen it in a couple magazines, i am building one very similar, and would like to see more details.
There have been several recent press releases in the car mags about one. Whether you call it a stretched T bucket or shortenend T tub, that's what it looks like. Sorry I don't have a link. Gary Further, and so sorry. I was thinking of the wrong car, obviously. The stretched T / shorty T tub I was thinking of was from www.wintecfabrication.com just in case someone else is interested.
