Any one know of a fabricator of fiberglass panels for the sho? If so, how much do you think they would cost? thanks guys.

Nope nobody really makes any thing body wise for the sho. If u want it.... You will have to get somebody somewhere to fab you some up. Which will cost you big $$$$ wink

I would say nope, but hey I've seen an all Carbon Fiber paneled car. Anything you want done can be done with money, a company might want more than one person to keep the costs down or your pay out the ear like most racers do but at least they have millions in support from backers.

I know VFN and Harwood will make any panel you want if you send them the steel panel to make the mold from. How much it is I don't know, but as far as I know they still do it.

Are you sure, I looked and found nothing save the fact they would build drag bodies for you?

I'm not a body guy but I've heard Import people doing it for cars with no aftermarket like RX3's and such. It was told to me like this. Lay out your stock fender cover it in wax, cover the outside with a extra thick layer of glass and pull the fender and sand and smooth the inside of what is now a mold. Seal up the inside with something and sand again, because you want your mold to be as smooth as possible.
Be nice up here no more rust worries in the fenders, just pull em coat the chassis and strap on the new pannels but I figure thats weeks of hours of work for even one easy panel, doors would be a bear I think.

You would have to talk directly to them. Like I said, I don't know if they still do it, but I know they used to. VFN would be your best bet, Harwood is pretty damn expensive.
