Re: Fiberglass body questions
I got a 'glass body made up here in Ontario Canada by a gent in his back
yard garage.
He does 'nice' work!
It fit on sweet and is really strong. All my doors, soft and hard and
my tops soft and hard fit like a glove.
It has 1" waterproof plywood sandwiched in the floors and diamond plate
sandwiched in the firewall.
I have even flipped her over and all I damaged was the glued seam where
the firewall meets the floor pan. I cracked it there. I did knock it
1/2" over on the frame, but that only took a half hour to fix. Loosen
the mount bolts and measure it back square to the frame and bolt her
back tight.
I love the one piece front clip! It just flips everything up out of the
way so to change plugs or anything, I just sit on the front tire and
wrench away.
