HAIRY
GLASS PRODUCTS, INC.
This body and panels represent our greatest effort ever. There are over 2,200 hours to present a complete ready to mount race unit. Efforts have been dedicated to have a single style suitable for different chassis, lengths and heights.
Measurements presented are based
upon ground clearances allowed as well as ride heights necessary to accept the
use of large slicks.
NOTE:
Special attention must be drawn to the original bodylines and contours.
Since no two lines on the car run parallel to one another, movement of
front end could present excessive cutting and bodywork.
Upon request we have individual wheel well inserts available for
acquiring any special wheel base configuration.
DISCRETION
BRIEF:
The windshield has been redesigned to reduce drag by extending the base
forward over eleven inches. It has
also been curved for a rounder side-to-side roll.
The roof has been widened side-to-side and front to back.
It has also been lowered over two inches in order to get the fender tops
taller. The doors have been
lengthened front to back (larger entry opening) and made taller to get the
rocker section down to a more suitable ground clearance.
SPECIAL
NOTICE:
Absolutely no factory parts will interchange nor will our parts fit a
factory car. This unit is for
racing applications. Factory door
handles might work, but we designed for after market racecar applications.
Hinge provisions are also designed around after market racecar parts.

I. Basic hood even though stock in appearance has been arched over 2” for actual engine valve

(tear drop) factory
design of the front fenders. Similar
rising of panels was performed on rear.
J. As mentioned this area raised or widened for both entry access and to keep rocker panel close
