James2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Never heard of anything, but those panels could be easy enough to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock us out a set, I'll get them cast and send back your originals plus an extra pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Well I would be we are on lock down here and out of supplies! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Anybody got a junk '68-'82 Corvette body laying around? That could be a good starting point. I was looking at making similar panels for the EMPI Imp I just rebuilt, because so many of them seem to have had them, but drove on without. I might go back and add them later. At least on the EMPI they're flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of compound curves there, they look pretty challenging to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I was casting them but they didn't sell well, so I dropped them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 JC they aren't that hard to make . I carved these out of a piece of balsa wood , applied a skim coat of polyester putty , sanded and primed them . Maybe a couple hours total . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sold out and haven't been doing much csating lately. My Pods were mastered by Don Garrett and look very similar to the white buggy in this thread.
