    I talked with WS today and they should have my fiberglass done by the BPG race. I will pick up the parts and have them there if anyone wants to look at them. Fenders, front bumper, grill, and headlight bezels which I am going to make a one piece front end out of. Hood with 4" cowl, doors, rear deck and bumper.

    Mike:
    If you get a chance before you glue all the stuff together, could you weight one of the front fenders for me so I can decide if I get a couple.
    Thanks,

    A 67 hood with a 4" cowl should look great and give some needed hood clearance for spacers and/or TE heads.
    A list of each individual part weight savings would be nice.
    Will WS be selling these parts?

    Any idea if they will do any "one off" parts if supplied with a good core?
    Thanks,

    Perry, yes they do one offs. That's what this stuff of Mike's was. He took a couple of my fenders, grille, bumpers etc and got his parts made. They have made several parts for me over the years. They have lots of molds, but if they don't, just send yours and they will make it. I've had good luck with them, price and quality.

    Ray,
    Yes on them making more because now they have the molds off mine and Jim's parts. I paid $2,034.15 for everything including sales tax.
    They don't charge for the mold making. I had all the parts worked over by my body guy before I took them so the end product should be pretty good.
    Perry I guess Jim and I answered your question.

    WS made all the 'glass parts for my car as well. Nothing existed for a '65, so I sent them all the necessary steel pieces over the years. Now you can get anything you want, because they've got the molds in stock. Except the grill. I had a chassis shop in PA make that for me a dozen years ago or so. I had to pay for the mold, so I kept it. I lent it to WS one time to make a grill for Bruno D. Other than that, there hasn't been much call for it.
