Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
I have been working 10 years on my '36 roadster project that has a Fairlane body (they are now out of business). (The long term of this build does not reflect on the quality of the body, I finished 2 other cars during that time.) My recommendation is that you take a trip to Phoenix and visit their facility and look at the body in person to make your judgement. Also, check with other guys who have built f-cars and see what they like and dislike in their bodies. Bracing is the most important part. In my case, I wanted a rumble seat and I did not realize that there was no bracing or anything between the rumble area and the passenger compartment. I had to build that in and I would have had them do that had I realized it before. Also, I had to build support in the rear for a stock spare tire carrier. Good luck.
