frontends
Heres a few more pics,The 56 is one we built about two monthes ago and added the tear drop for the customer,Fella's seem to like this scoop on the frontends cause we have built three of them with it ,we have about every hood scoop mold there is,we donot just glue our scoops on we glass them,Our frontends are handlaid glass made with 3 layers of 3 oz. mat and a layer of 1708 biax stitch for strength,we donot use core mat for strength its what most glass companies use for a stiffener and strength,its really nothing about the same as if you added cardboard.And all our parts and cars come in gloss black sanding gelcoat, reason being its just like paint, Black will show you how much of a ****- wave and flaw wise ya got right off the bat,if ya get a glass part in white or light gray check it out real well when you get it cause it hides the flaws until you start blocking the part.
The skull and crossbones is a front end we built for the Hildstrand brothers from tv's deadliest catch,A body shop in Florida is building two cars for them.I make frontends,doors bumpers,hoods and trunklids for the 53 thru 57 chevys.
Hopefully this helps you fella's a little bit,I did buy the former rod n race a few years ago from a guy that really destroyed any credibility they had,I will not get into the details about the 47 customers he hosed and we took care of as part of buying the business from him.As far as I know we satisfied all of them we had a past invoice for.Is my stuff we build perfect,Nope, but we do our best and have had very few complaints.Sorry I am just getting back on here,I will answer your questions,sends pics or whatever you need.You guy's got me measuring the 55 front rollpan now,I have sold several of them and got no feed back on them positive or negative,so will make sure the length is correct before anymore go out,Hope this wasnt to long winded,I really had hoped all the rod n race worries were in the past and they are slowly disappearing But I blame no one for being causious.
Thanks,
