Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
I am considering having a batch of these made for us. Just wanted to create a poll here to see if the demand was there. Since shipping these units can be costly and risky I decided we would try to have them available for pick up at SDAC in Cincinatti or @Carlisle. Take the poll and let me know if you would be interested in joining. Other Fiberglass body parts are available also. Let me know what you are looking for and I will see if we can have them made too.
Thanks!

I could go for a fiberglass omni hatch...
FO SHO. Prices?
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
Hairy Glass out of Florida already makes the hatch, bumpers, doors, hoods for the Charger body style. Reasonable prices, too.
Now, if you produce a nice, high quality 4dr Omni hatch(with a plexi window!), I'd be in for one.

Hey Chris,
Too bad you are so far away, my mom's boyfriend owns a fiberglass shop and makes all kinds of different fiberglass stuff. If you were closer I could talk to him about making these.

I'd be interested in a 4 door l-body hatch that i can put some lexan in:D But i would need it shipped cause theres no way i'll be at sdac or carlisle (way too far away!)
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
i would like to see the weights of the regular hatch (crazy heavy) and the fiberglass stuff (not so heavy)

I actually contacted them about a hatch for my Charger. Their pieces are designed to be lift-off pieces (Like say, a '69.5 Road Runner hood), and do not accept the factory backlight- You have to make your own window from lexan or plexiglass. Perfectly fine for a dedicated race car, but not something I would want for a regularly driven street car like my Charger.
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
chris what are the costs looking like? are these 2 or 4 door models??
is it a complete hatch? with lexan rear window?? or just the hatch itself
if it opens/looks like factory id be interested, car is street driven
that hairy glass hatch was $260....very reasonable! what kind of price can u get us with the lexan rear!?
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
Chris: is the hatch piece a factory bolt on(uses hinges) or a lift off like Adam was talking about???
On the hairy glass guy: Has anyone used any of his products, like the hood or hatches? are the both lift off or bolt on??? How well does it fit? Do they save alot, i would think so on the hatch, but the hood is kinda heavy, and i would think it would take alot of bracing to get the hood to not crack, making it heavy with glass too

Why dont you just ask anyway? Nothing like a little redundancy for parts.
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
im interested!
the problem with harryglass is shipping.....THEY DONT SHIP
Im not going to sdac but Id go to phoenix to pick up parts.
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
What would the price be for a hatch???
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
How about NHRA legal Lexan windows? The rear hatch weighs about 3 lbs with the glass removed, same as the doors. A bolt in lexan door or hatch glass replacement would really decrease the weight.
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
You would really be surprised what a stock Shelby Charger hatch weighs without the factory glass.
Re: Fiberglass L-Body/G-Body rear hatches anyone?
The key would be to have both.....fiberglass hatch and lexan glass. Geesh, that probably shave two tenths right there!
