body

[RESINATOR]

That's tough to measure, my gauge only works on metal. It appears using my calipers to be anywhere from .80mm to .98mm depending on where it's taken. This will not be as consistent as paint, as the gelcoat nozzel is much larger.

I know what you mean about the roads here, am from the Northampton area. Started with my T without a door and now have one. Still step over time to time but the wife sure likes the door better. Are you going to York the first weekend in June?

The T I'm building has both a passenger and driver side doors..

Jimbo01,

Who manufactured your body?

Jimbo01,

This guy and his dad used to make bodies for MAS before they went belly up. The molds have since been improved and these guys don't cut corners. The only thing I wish for would be better gel coat like Jerry offers. I believe I'll re gel coat the body before paint.

This is the body

This is the guy I bought mine from. Looks like he's trying a little something different

Looks nice Jerry. I can understand why the gauge doesn't work. No real flat surfaces to get a good reading.

I like the body with 2 doors, do you need to put in any metal for exter support, and does he make a channeld body. And do they all have a flat fire wall, i like the look of the arched fire wall if you no what i mean. Ino i ask a lot of questions. Theses cars are new to me i have been playing with 4x4 trucks my whole life.
