Thread: Model A Glass Body

Tweet

Hello Guys! Can you help me out? I'm looking for a souce for an "affordable" Model A Coupe Glass shell. Race weight or something like that. Streetwize used to make an affordable coupe street weight but, I can't contact them anymore. Are they still in business does anyone know? I'd rather get a cheaper shell and glass in some wood and steel than patching panels and welding in an inner sturucture. Plus no rust! I know someone in california has got to have some race skins or something Thanks if you can help!!

......Poly Form in Watsonville, Calif. {831-722-4418 www.poly-form.com } has a '34 Ford 3 window cpt race body for $2195, a '34 Ford roadster race body for $1995 & a '29 Ford roadster race body for $1400.....I have one of their '29 race body's and it only weights somewhere around 50 pounds! Remember that the race body's don't have functioning doors...... I believe that Ravon {in Montana???} is out of business now but they used to make one..... hope this helps ya, Bill

oh, go to www.seattlestreetrods.com and follow the proms to where they list most all of the body manufactures. But I'd recommend you check back here before you buy anything. Some folks have had problems with certain manufactures & your fellow friends here can save you a lot of heartake & money by sharring their experiences with whatever manufacture you decide on......
