I can't picture how these molds could produce a decent fiberglass body. Look at how they have been stored - in the woods filled with water and leaves. Says a little wax and clay. I suspect these are from CMC/StreetBeasts when the closed their doors and sold off what they could. I don't see molds for interior/exterior doors, engine lid or front hood - not to mention bumpers, These are been listed for $4500 for months on end - they need to reduce the price to $500 so someone here can buy then and splice together to made Speedster trailer shells. I could see a fun retirement job - mating the shell to Harbor Freight utilitiy trailers --- like the one that was a labor of love by fellow SOCer at a Carlisle event!

A complete set of wide body CMC was bought by a local (Crestview, FL) SOCer and later sold to SOCer in Sarasota area. New owner actually flashed several bodies and even produced a Miata based Speedster featured in RCN (ReinCARnation) magazine.
