    I read on another site a couple months ago they were out of business. Too bad, he made one of the best glass '33/4's out there.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Sorry, haven't heard anything about that. You might try contacting Adams Rod Shop; 407-844-4017 (internet listing so area code may have changed too). He worked with Minotti a lot on chassis for the '37 style cars. Be warned, Adams doesn't have a good reputation for answering phone messages so it might take more than one call.

    The molds for Minotti 33-34 bodies were purchased years ago by Outlaw street rods (Google 'em) and they still have the molds for bodies and window/header moldings. Nice folks too. Who bought their other molds I have no idea. When you call Outlaw, ask to speak to Barbara. 800-763-3334

    Wow! Do you realize that you're replying to a thread from 2005, over seven years ago? Gypsy's still around, but if he didn't get his answer before now....

    Not a problem, Scott, and welcome to CHR! It's easy to overlook the dates, especially when using the "search" function. Not the first, and won't be the last Hope you find what you're looking for here, and enjoy your stay!

    A friend of mine was just t-boned in his 37 Ford Menotti. He is currently in the hospital and I am looking to see if he can still get fiberglass body parts (for his car). As a minimum, I believe he will need the door, running board and rear fender on the left side (while sitting in the car). I would like the email address of John White in Australia who apparently has the molds for the 37 Ford Menotti. email me at litch@wavecable.com. Thanks -- Litch
