I love to see such a classic vehicle restored to like new condition. That is absolutely gorgeous.

Until I saw this build up, I never would have considered fiberglass,....I just didn't know how good of a product it is or how strong it is.

Slacker, great job . I read intently through this whole post. The end with the wife inflicted damage was like a good drama going bad with a comedic ending. One question, if someone was looking to pick up 1/4's and front fenders, are they stocked or pre-ordered on a case by case basis? Again, wonderful work.

Wow! I had looked at your site and liked the thought of being able to replace the rear quarters, but was worried about the strength so decided against it. But after seeing those videos on your site I will be going this route
