I went down this road a long time ago, and came up empty handed. I would be
interested in a trunk lid, and maybe fenders eventually. I was going to try
to make the trunk lid myself. The Roadster Factory furnished me a fiberglass
TR-3 nose piece several years ago, (Frank Stoddard is no longer there). I
hope to find time to install this nose piece this year.
It would be heavier than the fiberglass nose pieces used by the super stars,
but a lot lighter than the metal nose piece. This nose piece is not just a
simple installation. It requires the shrouding off all of the open area
around the radiator -- some work and time, which get put off just trying to
get the car on the track.
I have been using the same very heavy fenders since the early 70's. They
consist of chopping the opening a little larger with a fire ax, brazing on
sheet metal ledges, and using about a gallon of Bondo to make them smooth on
top. They still display a few waves.
