Thread: newbie looking for a leadsled replica.

Tweet

I tried searching and didn't find anything, I'm looking for a place to find replica leadsled bodies. Pretty much any late 40's early 50's sedan. I hate to use the term kit car because I'm not wanting a kit, I want a body that can be mounted on a newer frame. I saw someone who put a 49 merc body on an `01 merc frame. Very nice looking project. I'm looking at doing something similar, but finding a donor body is next to impossible near where I live (2 hrs south of ATL) What few cars I find are either so far trashed they are useless or so expensive it's out of my price range.

P.S. this is my first post so if I did something wrong please take it easy on me. Thx.

Gene winfield makes fiberglass merc bodies, thats the only replica sled ive ever seen, also one of the members has some, but ill let him tell you the deal if he wants. I dont know what your price range is, but im guessing a glass one is gonna be pricy, ill sell you my merc

Somebody on here has some fiberglass '50 Merc bodies, who was that?? I just can't remember who it is.
