Now that I'm getting close to finishing the mechanical work on ol'1343 it's 
time to start thinking 
about the body. All the panels are in good shape with the exception of the 
following:
1. The acrylic is chipped on the corners of the hood and it has circular sress 
cracks in the 
middle.
2. The roof panel is split along the edge on the drivers side.
3. The passenger door panel is broken where it bends over the roof.

Are WHITE acrylic hoods/roof/door panels available?  If not then should I get 
fiberglass 
replacements (or repair the orignals) and paint them to match the acrylic.  
OR... should I paint 
the entire body.  I'm afraid that if I just paint the replacement panels then 
the car might not 
look right.

Any suggestions?
