    Windshield Posts

    just get a pair of raw steel ones and cut and weld them the way you want. i also notice the hole in the post. speedways short post are not like the stock ones, as the second hole goes right through the door revel. some bodies are not long enough at that point, if you choose to cut the door out...

    body prices

    just another note about all this. i have two t bodies that have a strange problem. at the short windshield post attachment, one of the bolts sits right on top of the door revel. you would be hard pressed to cut out the door if you wanted to. i have no idea who made these. swap meet finds and...

    body prices

    another point about defects in 'glass, i bought a 27 body from fiberglass trends about 9 years ago and i looked at the mold Dave has today and the same defect in my body is in that mold too. most likely they made a body in this mold and made another mold from it and perpetuated this defect.

    body prices

    i think most people would be amazed at how many bodies are made from other bodies with those kind of defects at this kind of price range. i have just became acquainted with fiberglass Dave. he has over 5 acres of molds. he has just about all the old ones from fiberglass trends, cal automotive...

    curved axle

    i suppose this should be in the manufactures threads but, i would like to hear if everybody else would be interested in this. what i was thinking is, how about taking a round piece of tubing and rolling it to create the curve of a v8-60 ford tube axle. i know there is the oval shaped tubing...

    windshield post and the door

    on the other hand, i think i will just cut it at the door and lengthen it about an inch and a half. that should give me plenty of room. as far as the door goes, i want to make a mold of this body so i can open the door.

    windshield post and the door

    it's the same thing. i only took this pic because the car is against the fence. the other bodies are stashed away in the shed. since these are original, i would assume they are cast steel and not brass, so i might have to cut them straight down and weld up one hole.
