Copious Amounts of Fiberglass

Hey All;

I'm going to need a bunch of fiberglass mat and resin to put a couple of bodies together and to make a mold of another boy. Does anyone know where I can get amounts of these things that are larger than what you can get at an auto paint store or auto parts store?

Here is a good place to start and it might be close to you.

If you want to make a trip east to the OBX bring them out and I can take care of you.

Hey Vince;

Thanks for the info on this place. It is a couple of hundred miles away from me, so I'm going to contact them and see what supplies I'll need to get these projects done. Thanks.

What is OBX?

Hi Gary,

We just had an event here on the East Coast, here is the link:

Check the last few pages for pictures etc. (Bruce rode with me in my Blue Manx)

OBX is the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where the Wright Brothers flew and where Cape Hatteras is.

Hey Vince;

OK, knew about that run and have been looking at the pictures. Just didn't know it was called OBX. If it happens next year, then it looks like a run to go on. Just might make it if enough folks from the left coast want to make the trip in buggys.

Hi Gary,
We would love to have you out this way.
On an unrelated subject, I saw a post from you a while back on the DBA. Do you have an SR? I am working on one and could use pictures and info on the door hinges. Anything would be helpful.

Thanks,
Vince

Hey Vince;

My brother and I drove out and picked up an SR that he had purchased from Bill out in Colorado Springs, CO. Once we got it home and he tried to get into it we found that neither of us would ever be able to get into it (he has subsequently purchased a Sterling). He them sold it to a friend in San Jose, CA that is turning it into an electric car.
