Where to Buy Taller Bodywork
bilbo - 20/8/08 at 07:24 AM

Does anyone know where I can buy taller than standard body work to fit a book chassis?
I guess Luego is one place, but is there anywhere else?

Thanks,
Bill

OK, now I'm confused. Is this subject controversial somehow?

There are indeed suppliers of different sized bodywork.

Some of them have, in the opinion of many, what might termed somewhat euphemistically as "supply chain issues".
(Cough, cough).

Others are of the opinion that they can do no wrong.

Best to research the issue using the search tool and make your own mind up thereafter.

Ah, now I understand andyharding's comments.

I'm not going to get into any arguments about a certain supplier as I've not really had any dealings with them.

If you need me I'll be sat here



Maybe I'll just give Luego a call

Well I'm afraid I have no Idea what your all on about regarding bodywork suppliers.

My chassis is 3" taller than standard, I'm just going to make all the exterior panels (excluding arches and nosecone) from sheet aluminium. How hard can it be? Famous last words....
