|
|
I've been Googling for an hour, and cant find much. Does anyone know if someone still makes replacement parts, or if a different brand would fit?
I have an California Clipper body, but no hood/dash. |

Their phone was probably disconnected around 1971.
Any manx type should fit or could be made to fit without too much work.
If you can't find a used hood contact Acme/Berrien in Pennsylvania and see if they sell just buggy hoods in primer. I know Meyers Manx does

Not having hood is a real dilemma, and having a hood that is close is just a minor headache to make fit...
