I was just wonderin..... I am going to start next summer and complete an entire fiberglass body for my 240 (s13 hatch)and change the design a little (like front end, side skirts, rounded door ends....... But then i was thinkin if others would be interested in obtaining a casting from me when i get it complete. i know this is premature since i wont be starting it till next year (working an a couple sculptures that im casting right now), but I am wondering about the interest out there for a product like this and might buy more materials to make more than just a mold for me.
Does anyone think there is interest. it would shave off many pounds off the car instead of having metal panels.
i am in the process of aquiring materials from plastics companies right now so knowing alittle info now would really help in getting things cheaper.
Also, would anyone think that a kit complete with instructions and materials and easy to use molds would be better to sell for people to do themselves. Im thinking that #### if you get in an accidet or hit a speed bumb or run over a pig it would be so economical to just make a new part for yourslef instead of buying say a front end for 600 again to replace the old part. THis is only for bad accidents where fiberglass repair is not an option.
comments would be apprecited
thanks
