I think if ali hood/trunk and doors were available as retrofits, or better still offered to the main supplier as a factory-based option when the customer orders, then there would be a real market with the right cars (ERAs?). i have asked about this a few times in the UK, and its simply too expensive for a single (unskilled) individual like me to comission a one of for a single car. But maybe there is a margin in the numbers. I know that there are C and D type Jag replicas that have (or had) this kind of option available to potential buyers as a half way house between a GRP skin and big money full ali body fitout, but only available at the point of the original sales order.
