yes there is at least 1 co. that i know of that produces a all original looking glass body, but I think that it is for a v8 vw, they may also make a standard one as well, I can't remember. I will see if I cant find it again and post back with the addy. for you. |

I saw them earlier, I am thinking they are specific to the race series. The series has arrived in the States, I will have to check.

Greg,
Can we get a rough estimate on the cost of one of these beauties?

When I read this thread a few months ago I thought I remembered seeing a full fiberglass VW sedan body in an old magazine. So today I took my stack of old KITCAR Magazines and paged through them. In a 1992 issue I found that the Wizard Roadster guys built a full fiberglass VW sedan body. Don't know if any went into production. I stopped getting the Magazine soon after. Didn't BGW Specter produce the Wizard roadster after Wizard?
Anyway there were 2 grainy B/W pictures.
