razerwire,
thanks for the info/insite.

Dan Fodge,
Tim Figuar of Fiberjet Industries made a mold for Dan Fodge, Tim said they tweaked it for months until they were satisfied with it. I bought that mold off Tim some ten years ago, then in one of the three dumbest things I've ever done, I sold it when I moved to Texas six years ago. (tried to track it down when I moved back to CA last year, no luck). Tim had a dunebuggy busness, and was an ace fiberglasser/mold maker.

Tim and I were at a Knott's Kit Car show years and years ago, saw several Bennetts and Butlers, we were amazed at how they looked "exactly" like Tim/Dans bodies.
