I'm putting together my list of parts for blue car (I've been assured it will be ready for the WCC).
It needs some things like bumpers (sold 'em) and will need some flares and stuff later.
Who sells the stuff I need?

I've priced parts at:

http://www.gettydesign.com
http://www.rennspd.com
http://www.GT-Racing.com
http://www.ultimate914.com
http://www.pelicanparts.com

I know AIR has stuff, but they don't give prices online. Tweeks & Performance had nothing of use.
Ideally, I like the full fiberglass fenders and quarters from Rennspeed like Jeroen got.
what else?

Doood, I give up. How many teeners do you have? And where are they all located? I can't keep up.

blue six conversion named "Blue Car"
and white 2.0 named "Whitey"

just those 2. I've been focused on whitey for a while and not blue car. I couldn't make up my mind what to do with blue car's motor.

Which one is in California?

Sounds like "brown car". That was much better than my previous name for it.

blue car is in LA, hard to supervise a project when you're 2000 miles away.

This is the info I have from the vendors listed above.

A shamless plug here but I have FG peices I am willing to take a hit on just to get rid of them.

Front GT Bumper

Front GT Lower Valance

Rear Bumper

The bumpers are without brackets like the Getty ones. The glass quality is good.

Take all 3 for $300 and pay the shipping.

Hey Where did the edit button go???/

Forgot to mention that hey are all street weught FG peices.

Scott,

thanks for the offer, but blue car is a track car, so he's on a diet for the light stuff.
The price seems right though.

How do you mount them if the mounts are built in?

You had better factor in Shipping as It look like oversize shipping to me.Steve

definitely is, but RennSpd is in socal(LA), so is the car.
So, it may be time to call a favor in of a friend with a pickup.

I thought Rennspeed was the place that sold Eric Shea crapola ??

What do you want for the car ?? HPH stocks all this (and you will get a discount for helping the club site)

Who makes fiberglass version of the '75 - '76 bumpers?

Jonathan

Posted by: Brad Roberts Dec 19 2003, 05:17 AM

HPH. I run them on some of our race cars.

Jeroen's parts are from RennSpeed. He was initially happy with them. Haven't heard anything lately.


Bruce,
Brad is in SF. Paul (buddy that had the cool IROC clone) is in LA. I tought him how to weld the last time I was there, so he owes me 1.

Brad,
not buying til Feb or March most likely. And then, probably just bumpers & front spolier/valence.

who, what, where is "HPH"?

Posted by: Jeroen Dec 19 2003, 09:58 AM

HPH = High Performance House (Rich Bontempi)
www.highperformancehouse.com

I'm pleased with the RennSpeed parts. Peter was easy and fast to deal with
Quality of the fenders is nice. Maybe a little on the thick side.
I bet if you ask him to do them racing-thin, he can/will (most stuff is made on order)

cheers,

Jeroen

Rennspeed was junk... PM me for info or check out the "Bolt On Flare" post

Hey, I never did get any info about door skins. Does anyone know how they work? How they mount?...

Posted by: Jeroen Dec 29 2003, 08:04 PM

Depends which skins you mean...

For the "looks like a door from the outside, but that's it" skins, fab your own mounts with DZUSes or sumptin

The skins that go on a regular doorframe can be glued/epoxyed on..., but I don't think it would do much for weight saving though

cheers,

Jeroen

anyone make their own bumpers?

I was looking at something the other day, oh yes grassroots. They used a piece of styrofoam, shaped it and then glassed it.

wound up manufactured like a surfboard....You cali guys should know about that......

sounds like it would be good for a street bumper, very impact resistant....

oops, got another project.....herb
