WTB: bodywork for a 7

[focusinprogress]

I'm in the process of building the frame for my 7 from scratch, and cannot seem to track down any websites to purchase body work for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any parts for sale?

I don't know of any one with body work for a scratch built 7 but I can tell you that it is very easy to do it yourself once you have the frame built. I can say this because I have made all of the body work on my 7 from scratch as I also built my car from scratch. Here are some photos of that process that you might find interesting.

If you want I will sell you my body work for $17500.00 and you will also get all of the other parts you need for your car along with the body work as my car is still for sale.....:rofl:.....:leaving:

Kinetic Vehicles (Jack McC) has lots of stuff. Nose, fenders. tail lights, scuttle, etc. Hoods and body panels you have to do out of flat Alum sheets. Russ

I have a used scuttle and firewall if you are interested. Where are you located?

I am located in western new york (buffalo). If you have pics and if they will fit a mcsorely 7+442 chassis I would be interested in asking price and such

Jack at Kinetic is good plus Curtis Unlimited in Cali has fiberglass parts. My nose and fenders are from them but I have been hearing reports of questionable quality. They need prep work not paint and bolt on. I have a +4" frame and had to cut the nose in half. I added 4" with epoxied Aluminum and fiberglass layup the middle. I just seen a 442 uses a standard width nose but calls for a taller height, Curtis has taller noses also.

Not sure if you're just looking for the aluminum peices, but if not I have a complete set of front and rear Caterham fenders in very, very nice condition that I will be posting for sale sometime in the next few days. They could be used "as is" or would simply need to be scuffed and painted. Craig (330) 807-0742 or chima97@aol.com

:willy_nilly: I am a metal shaper. I have done a widened 7 nose out of aluminim for a friend of mine. I am about to make a nose for my Birkin. To see my work go to Blastolene.com

I can use your widened mock-up as my pattern and will basicly cover with

.062 aluminum.

Randy, I've admired your work since I first saw pictures of the Blastolene Special several years ago. To call yourself a "metal shaper" is somewhat of an understatement!

Ditto!!! Saw the Tank engine car on the BJ Auction. Amazing, Although our west coast friends may not think the 2 mpg was a good thing.:smash:
