In need of a rear clip for a 356 speedster wide body I just purchased, it's a Classis Motor Carriage body.

NOT MINE. Rear half for $1895. They are located in Roswell, GA so easy pickup. They have engine lids for $395.

Sad thing is there was one on EBay not long ago. Not sure if it will come up in past auctions or history.
I inquired three or four times to this vendor re: hardtops and received nothing but
"clever / sketchy " answers. YMMV. Good luck.
They do seem too buzy to be bothered with buyers but he's only 6 hrs away.
let him, "twist in the wind"
Thanks for the replies..... I've contacted them in Roswell and his reply was if there's a flare left, a good fab shop can rebuild it.......
I figure if I can't get a fiberglass rear clip. I'll get some metal mesh and do what I can to rebuild it! Then let my body guy fiberglass it....
Maybe he meant adding flares to his standard classic body half could be done. Ok - how about this approach - Buy the $695 mold and make the part yourself?

I have seen that car before I believe. Did you get it in Elizabethton, TN? I have a cmc wide body that a good glass man could get a mold from. I thought about tackling it myself but I currently have more projects than time. You are welcome to get measurements from my car if it helps in the refab process.

If I can be of help, I live within 20mi. of "Rusty Tubs"..... Would be happy to take a look for you.... If you two reach a deal, I might be persuaded to drag it up to N.C. .... They are quite pricy though....
Dont use metal mesh.....best to cut support stays out of the damaged pcs, bond with 3m fiberglass adhesive, cut a 2.5 shallow groove through the gelcoat setting in a layer of fiberglass cloth. Be sure all surfaces are propperly prepped or it will fail over time
Illinois Speedster body mold shows "pending" now! Did you go for it? Have you seen the red Speedster trailer that shows up at Carlisle. Very cool.

I see you found the bit you needed!
So who knows? Is that Griott sculpture real or a replica?
Blasphemy.
Pretty sure thats something Henry built for Griot's Garage some time ago..

If that thing has a Porsche vin # it's worth putting back together..
I may have a rear wide body clip lined up... Thanks for all the help in this! Can't wait to start working, finishing, and driving it!

Don't know where you are but you should consider a visit to Carlisle PA in a few weeks. I know I'm bringing my questions an a few memory cards for photos.
