41 Body
Shell - Heavy Duty
When building a Hot Rod you obviously want it as straight as
possible. So you bondo the floor pan - wheel wells & inner structure.....So as
far as the body all you are left with is an overweight, rusty shell held together with old
factory spot welds and body lead. Our bodies are manufactured from extremely complex
molds - which produce a rigid one piece unit. The roof, quarters & firewall
are generally stiffened with the use of internal ribbing. In addition, your all new
glass body can be made heavier or lighter (within reason) depending on your
application. Average body weight is only about
450#'s
As far as body
work, you need to scuff off the mold flashing - block sand - prime and paint. The
great part
about owning a rigid glass body - is that you'll
never have to worry about
rust . Once you apply your paint scheme that's it - just wash and wax.
Installation
takes time!! Whether
you are installing just the body or an entire package, the bodies must
be through bolted to your original frame. |
