Does this have a back seat? Do you sit all the way back? I would like a tub and I know this is as close as I can get right now, does any one have better pics?

RPM said:And that shiney red, ain't paint. That is how it came out of the mold. That car has never been painted. Just fantastic glass work.

OK, now that I've given you a heart attack, let me explain the price. This is the most well-built fiberglass body (of any type) I have ever seen. The molds are beautiful. As RPM pointed out, the red color on Danny's body is not paint, it's gel-coat, and it's almost perfect. You cannot see where the joints in the molds were. The bodies are hand layed-up with multiple layers of cloth... no chopped glass anywhere. A steel square tube re-inforcing frame is glassed into the body to support the dash (column drop), windshield mounts, door frames (2), seating area and the rear of the body. The doors are not cut out of the body after molding, they are made separately and are steel tube framed. The doors have bear-claw latches. The price includes the doors and a seat insert. I think this is a very good value for someone who is willing to pay for quality.
I actually have given some serious thought to buying one of these (for a new project), but there is one thing about them I don't like. These bodies cannot be channeled without some major rework... beyond my capabilities.
