Hello all....

I just bought a 68 mustang and I plan on restoring. Its in pretty good shape. Just some minor interior.

My question is this..... Is it better to upgrade to fiberglass? Are people doing this because the old parts are rusted or because of the weight of the vehicle. I'm just a novice but a fast learner.

Thanks for any info..

 

No point going to fiberglass if there is nothing wrong with what you've got unless you plan on racing the car and need to shave some weight or want to get a hood with a scoop on it or something like that.

 

how dependable is fiberglass? i kinda wanna get the shelby s nose

 

ive got a glass front end is fairly durable and lighter than steel but its more prone to cracking at seams etc

 

k here is my prob...from what i hear heat is a bad thing for fiberglass.....i live in phoenix az....120+ during the summer...fiberglass bad idea?

 

fiberglass can warp in heat and glass isnt not steel so.... some wavy ness comes with the territory it is what it is

 

darn.....i really want to do the shelby nose and gt/cs rear end on my coupe but i dont beleive any1 makes metal body parts

 

the factory pieces were glass buy some fit em get em paint it will make you happy
