Default 1931 model a coupe closed car fiberglass doors

Hi everyone,
I need help. my 31 coupe was hit right in the passenger side door and destroyed fiberglass door.
I am looking for a replacement fiberglass door . car is a coupe closed car.
Can anyone tell me where or who to contact to get one.
I'm thinking I can't be the first person to smash up a glass car. but I cannot find anyone how has doors or makes them.
If you know someone with molds for sale I'm interested.
thanks

Is your car a Shay or a Model A with a fiberglass door?

You might try contacting Wescotts Auto

Shay only made open cars as far as I know.

Welcome to the Barn.
Any pictures of the door?
Check with the street rodders. I know some companies were making complete fibreglass coupe bodies.
Good Luck. Jeff

Westcott makes a 30-31 coupe but it's chopped 2".

Shay made roadsters, a few roadster pickups, and fewer still C-cab panels. When Camelot took over, they made a few "phantom" 28-29-style 2-door phaetons.

If you are asking for the molds, then my suggestion is make your own molds. Buy a steel door and pull your plug off of it. Then build your glass door.
