[Healeys] Fibreglass Bodies

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day

What I am looking for are fibreglass body manufacturers who made bodies for
the chassis of production cars.

In the '50s it was the thing to do - remove the body from your MG T series
and fit a modern looking fibreglass sports body. These bodies were also used
for damaged vehicles where the chassis and running gear were still okay. Jim
Lesher very kindly sent me some photos of a Devin fibreglass body on a BN4.

It is easy to find fibreglass cars built on special chassis and fitted with
US V8s, but not such cars like the Buchanan here in Australia. The Devin is
an example, as is Fibrefab.

Perhaps I can scan it... >>

Ken, etal:   Patrick & I were 'chatting' last evening
nite = mine <G> and that is exactly what he do NOT
want ! ! !

He IS 'looking' for STEEL bodied 'cars' in "kit"
form.  He HAS found LOTS of F/G Co.s and I
gathered almost blind from his 'hunt' <VBG> ! ! !

I'm sure he will pop-up in a couple hours & add
to this note ! ! !
