I am playing around with the idea of swapping to a full Fiberglass body. The F/G panels will be bolted in place from behind by way of glassed in studs. The fenders and door skins would be removable but look like they are part of a solid body.
My question is this: has any one delt with zero-kewl914 on ebay and if so how was the quality of the 'glass?
I really like the idea of light weight removable panels, but could I make it look good?
Here are some pics of this guys stuff. Here is a link.

Don't do it!!!! Keep the anklebiter steel body!
-------
Bought a set of his gt rockers for my race car project. THey were so far off that I ended up cutting the ends off and riveting them to the stock appearing FG ones that came on the car when I purchased it. I now have about 4 feet of unuseable rockerpanel glass left over!

Any FG panel or flare needs A LOT of massaging to fit properly.

good glass is almost impossible to find. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


the only source of excellent FG parts that i know of is Roger Sheridan. i've been to his shop. top notch.
however, i'm not sure he makes GT quarter panels. can't hurt to ask him ...
