Fiberglass tonneau covers-check it out

The web address for the new kid in town that is crazy about the speedy's and is making some pretty fiberglass parts for them. Check out his web site
Hallnassc.auto.officelive.com
He has some great ideas.

Link doesn't work. There's an "at" required.

You are going to a web site not an email site so you don't use the "at" just be sure to put the periods in the right places and it will take you to his web site.
Some neat ideas to dress the speedster up a tad.

Whew busy colors on the site and I recommend spell checker if ya'll wanna be takun serioosly!

Yeas, thare ar sertunlhy sum creyativlee speld wurdz on that sight.

Is the Toneau $199?

Isn't that what it went for on eBay?

Pricing I received yesterday from them as follows...

THE TONNEAU COVER IN RED/ is $449.00 with latches & seal.
The Black tonneau covers are a littel cheaper@ $429.00 w/latches & seal.
The Red is a little more expensive due to the price of the red 'gelcoat'---and is built in a limited production.
"SHOWBARS-KIT" ON THE BLACK Tonneau Cover are $189.00 in stainless--other OPTIONS avali.
paintable,chrome plated, alum.

When you get on his web page click on the porsche 356 outlaw styling tab and he has one of the red tonneaus with the fake roll bars on his speedster. It looks pretty nice and he also stated that it works as a windblocker to some extent stopping some of the feedback in the cockpit.

OK GUYS I CAN TAKE THE -WISE CRACKS- ON MY SPELL CHECKING.
AND THE WHEW BUSY COLORS ON THE WEBSITE.I AM A CAR BUILDER THAT LOVES THE 356. JUST LIKE YOU GUYS.AND GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE OPTION FOR SOME OF THE COOLEST PARTS FOR THE SPEEDTER.
What i want to know is do you like my Tonneau cover that i designed
for the speedster?
Not whether or not i would make a good /secretary or web designer!
THANKS STEVE---P.S. I AM SERIOUS ASK--JERRY MCALISTER

THAT PRICE QUOTE THAT YOU LISTED WAS A DIRECT "QUOTE"
FROM ME.--FOR THE RECORDS

Hi Steve,
One time owner, long time PITA here on SOC. It is a nice accessory and I'm certain it will appeal to a segment of the replicar market.

The prices bandied about in early portions of the thread seem very reasonable for an accessory that can add such a distinction to an enthusiast's car.

Just like wheel options, there is an opinion for every belly-button posting here (Yeah I toned down my usual observations with that remark) and don't be surprised when someone makes the inevitable comparison to this or that. I navigated your site just fine.

It's too modern looking for my personal replicar visions but that doesn't mean the product is without merit.

just out of curiosity - didn't you buy that speedster, whale tail and tonneau from ebay several months back? It's a very unique white speedster and i remember it well (I grabbed the photos from the ad because i liked the tonneau so much.)

I'm guessing you made a mold from the tonneau right?

also - i have tennax fasteners for my top, so the outer rim has a bunch of little "studs" sticking up. Would this cover them, or are there provisions for these little guys? (i know lots of IM's run tennax fasteres too)

Pual
the car in the photos came from virgina 2 years ago.
my tonneau will not fit the tall fasteners.
paul
i looked at your photos & nice ride chassis looks great.
i didn't notice the tall fasteners on the car.looks better that way.

here a photo of the tonneau cover.
and PAUL all CMC later models where in white gelcoat not very UNIQUE.
AND I Would like to see the photos you grabed because my peices are original. THANKS

Steve - My early post about the spelling was in good fun. The tonneau covers actually look nice. You ought to hook up with John Hallstrand and Steve Lawing sometime, since they're in that area.

Reasonable pricing and nicely done too but as mentioned, a bit modern for the classic body sytle... I do see a need for these on the flared body versions. Would have been a plus on my recent white custom speedster.

here you go Steve. these are from an ebay ad i saved the better part of a year ago. ironically i saved the images because i liked the tonneau so much.

hey paul
thanks for the photos.that is a very similer car but if you notice that car has a wind sheild and other options instaled.my car has never had the first hole drilled in it.and that tonneau is much taller and has a poor body fitment.would you like one of my tonneau cover since you liked that one so much and mine is much better looking?

DRCLOCK
I REALLY ADMIRE YOUR CEATIVENESS AND INGENUITY ON THAT CAR.
DID YOU BUILD IT YOUR SELF? I ALSO AM DEVELOPING A SMOOTH BACK TONNEAU COVER WITH TALLER MORE VINTAGE STYLE SHOW BARS WITH THIRD/BAR.I WOULD LIKE TO TALK MORE ABOUT YOUR WHITE CAR.PLEASE E-MAIL DIRECTLY THANKS STEVE

Steve,
Thanks the tonneau is perfect, looks great on the little car, and the red gel coat is almost a match to the red of the car. I don't know what color it is but they are so close you can't hardly tell the difference. Can't wait till I have saved the money for the double deck lid.
Thanks again for all of your help (even if you do spell funny) the fiberglass work is great.
Jerry

Steve, I think it resembles the 911 Speedster's tonneau from the 80s -- may be that's why I think it looks a little too modern. I like what you've done, and God knows fitting these things to all the different manufacturers' Speedster bodies is a bitch, but do you have the time or interest to try rounding the edges a bit more?
The sharp angles behind the shoulders look a little blocky for such a rounded car, like seeing a carmel cube in an m&m bag.
I'd suggest reconsidering those lines a little, but I like the finish work. And I really dig on the decklid. That's brilliant. What can you do in a removable hardtop?
Nice job!

CORY YOU PAININTHEBUG I LIKE YOUR CONSTUCTIVE CRIDISISUM.
I THINK WE CAN DO BUISNESS.--E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY-- THANKS STEVE

THANK JERRY MC

THE FIRST EDITION TONNEAU, WAS DESIGNED AFTER THE 911,A LITTIL SHORTER AND LESS AGGRESIVE,BUT STILL WITH A ATTITUDE.THE SHOWBARS WERE PART OF THE DESIGN AND TAKE AWAY SOME OF THAT BOX LOOK YOU WERE REFERING TO.ALSO HAVE PADDED HEAD REST THAT GIVE THAT ROLLED LOOK PHOTOS COMING THIS WEEK!!!

CORY
AS FAR AS FITING THIS COVER TO EVERY MAKE OF SPEEDSTER 100%
THAT WOULD BE IMPOSIBLE TO OFFER ONE FIT ALL.THIS WAS MADE FROM A---CMC BODY,AND SHOULD BE CLOSE ON MOST GLASS CARS,BUT THERE ARE SOME BODYS THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT WILL NOT FIT DUE TO BAD MOLDS- WILL NOT MENTION ANY NAMES.

CORY
I HAVE TWO OTHER DESIGNES OF TONNEAU COVERS IN THE MAKING, I THINK THAT IT WILL SUIT YOU VINTAGE GUYS MUCH BETTER PHOTOS COMING 2 WEEKS.THANKS FOR THE COMPLEMENT ON THE DECKLID- IF YOU THINK THAT WAS BRILIANT WAIT AND SEE WHAT COMES NEXT THE DECKLID WAS MADE FOR YOU GUYS WITH THE BIG DISPLACEMENT ENGINES, GET MORE AIR FLOW AND TO THE UNTRAINED EYE/ NEVER KNOW.

TYPE'OS INCLUDED

I tried a fiberglass one first, and decided to make my own when it disappointed me. I have a rather ... different ... car. It's a hatchet-job, and the tonneau is riveted on, but it gave me the look and function I was after. I'd love to see what you're working on, though.

CORY
SPEEDSTER AND CABRIOLA REMOVABLE/ FIBERGLASS HARD TOP COMING SOON
ALSO COULD BE AVALIBLE IN CARBON FIBER IF THERE IS A DEMAND.
