Working with Fiberglass
I'm looking at part 296 in the gt-racing catalog, but the car will need to have headlights. I'm looking at getting this and having the headlight holes cut out to just use stock headlights with it. Would it be hard to find someone to work with fiberglass like this? Hell, even the picture ont he page has a car with carrera gt headlights. Will most paint shops/body shops work with fiberglass like this? The car won't be used very often, and this is about as much to do this as it is to buy a complete front clip to replace the damaged panels that are on it now.

fiberglass is not hard to work with...it takes a little practice...it depends on what you are doing to decide which size of web or mat (these are different ways that the glass fibers are assembled)....then there is the gel coat and I don't know enough about that to help....also I haven't done any glass work for 20 years.....

I'll probably do this up in millington and use custom brackets to hold it on if I do this. Welding up the brackets is about the only thing I can see being a porblem. My only issue with this is finding out what lights that thing uses. My guess would be it uses the euro lights, so that may be an issue.
My problem now is that the bumper shocks are shot, the panle between the headlights is bent up, the hood is okay, and both front fenders have a slight bend in them (just enough to bend the reflection off them, otherwise unnoticeable)
