Do you mean who makes the wings/nose etc. for a 7 type car.
OR
Someone who will put together a full custom bodywork set, from your sketch/design??
Cheers

Vindicator did that F15 inspired thing for a paying customer. Now that's done they may have room for a new project. I'd have thought any
GRP manufacturing company would make moulds for you as part of their standard services.

Talk to Triton, if he can't at the moment he may know someone reputable that can/will.
I suspect it will be expensive though, making moulds is time consuming to say the least.

I think Mark (Triton) is out of the bodywork game. He has sold the moulds to Saturn Sports Cars.
He might do it as it is something different to just doing 7 stuff, but you would have to ask him.
I think it will be pretty pricey.
I vaguely remember, a long time ago, one of the bodykit firms was willing to develop a kit based upon a customers design, but it would run at about
£6k. And that was just for bumpers, skirts etc.
Although you got about 50% of that back if the kit became commercially viable

Not me anymore sorry my shoulder is shot to pieces but there is a damn good laminator/pattern maker and mould maker just off the M1 in Northants....pm
if you want his number.
I warn you though making something from scratch is expensive that's why most kit cars are 7's or cobras as easy to rip off.
My Daughter has taken over production of the damn fine Triton race seats and her contact email is emmatrs@live.co.uk.

Another possibility is Applied Fibreglass who are next to my unit - they make GT40,s AC Cobras and almost every historic body out there, they are
currently doing the buck for my new car
Really helpful and good at what they do, if you want to speak to them give me a call on 01449 736633 and I will hook you up
regards
Andy
