Buy fiberglass body parts instead of build

[Deepkimchi]

In other threads building an electric trike, bike etc body out of coroplast, fiberglass, etc has been discussed..

Why not just buy it?

Maybe I could hide behind a dragster nose? http://www.suncoastracecars.com/page11.html

Already tried searching boatbuilders, pontoons, dragsters - maybe later I'll try canoes, storage tanks, motorcycles..

I remember an EV made from an F4 Phantom drop tank. There might be something cool in the army surplus junkyard.

I much prefer to find something close, then modify it, rather than totally building from scratch.

One of my favourites – you can find it on the Austin EV photo album.

Someone on the old V forum was building a trike from the front section of a glider fuselage, which would naturally have great aerodynamics.
