Anyone offer these side panels or any other after market parts for the Manx?

Never heard of anything, but those panels could be easy enough to make.

Excellent! Knock us out a set, I'll get them cast and send back your originals plus an extra pair.

Well I would be we are on lock down here and out of supplies! LOL

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.

Just giving you a hard time.  There are a lot of compound curves there, they look pretty challenging to me.

I was casting them but they didn't sell well, so I dropped them.

Do you have any left, I would be very interested in seeing them.

Something like this? These look do-able.

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 .

Yeah, exactly! Doesn't look hard to do, I just need to dredge up the motivation to actually do 'em.

Sorry.  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.

If you decide to do another casting Jim please keep me in mind.
