Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
Sure appreciate your input Karl. The name of Westcott is a long and respected one in fiberglass and will gladly take any advice you may have and will definitely be doing testing. Thanks again for your help. Sure wish you were closer to Atlanta.

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
I concur with Karl, whom I have great respect for. I can share some wild "printing" stories from the early days at A.S. ...I recall seeing woodgrain printing through 6-8 layers of chopped glass on a black car! Granted, resins have improved over the years, but many of rules still apply. I still approach part and tooling layups carefully in the world of high tech aerospace composite materials I work in today. Assume any contacting pattern or hard material will print through some day.

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
Turns out that the purple boattail that is in the photo we have of cars produced from our molds is two hours away from my house.We went over and met the gentleman that owns it and turns out he has an awesome collection of customs and we spent the day there.His boattail has a 1935 Ford front end and is very well done. The doors shut shut like a metal car and the fit is great. This is starting to be fun.
Here are some shots. [IMG]http://www.hotrodsonline.com/Photos/...oattail04.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.hotrodsonline.com/Photos/...oattail06.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.hotrodsonline.com/Photos/...oattail02.jpeg[/IMG] Last edited by hotrod1940; 07-25-2014 at 10:16 PM. |

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
I have been told ( by a co that makes fiberglass hood replacement's for mustangs )
they use only mat NO cloth and when finished they cook in an oven . fiberglass resin will reflow when heat ( the sun ) goes above curing temp . |

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
I was making a 32 ford boat tail speedster but have since started on a `39 zephyr front end for it, it looks a little long on the `32 body with the 106" wheelbase but I will keep at it. Lots of work, don`t know when I will finish it, it is fiberglass. I can`t seem to add a photo. I like those boat tails. Good luck boat tail builders.

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster Fiberglass Body
Negotiations are being finalized to sell the new molds for the 1936 Ford Roadster, Cabriolet and Club Cabriolet made by Fairlane Company, to a company in California, who plans to re-introduce them. More details will be forthcoming when this deal is completed. As the owner of Fairlane, it was our objective to build the strongest body structually as we could. We admired the work done by Wescott's on their bodies and used the same concept for ours. More later....
