You folks seem to know everything. So here is a tough one. Where can I buy a Spyder body in white? The correct answer gets a ride when I finish the project. If we should live so long.

Magwa,
I'm not so sure about that. The white car in your picture looks like it was just recently spray painted white.
I don't know if there really is a "standard". Although my 718 came out of the mould black, and pictures I've seen of Vintage 550 spyders also come out of the mould black, I suppose you could ask for any color gelcoat you want.
However, no matter what color gelcoat comes out of the mould, you are probably going to paint over it anyway. So I'm not sure what difference the gelcoat color makes when shopping for just a body shell.
Cheers,
Mark
