Re: Speedster Body for sale boat tail
That is neat. It is a Poliform fiberglass Speedster body. Modeled after the Morton and Brett bodies. Very rare, the molds were destroyed I believe. Easy way to make a nice speedster.

Re: Speedster Body for sale boat tail
Actually, I don't think that is a Polyform body, because of the seam line running down the center of the body. Polyform bodies were made using a chopper gun and were once piece construction . They were also very heavy because of the chopper gun construction. Pretty sure this is one of the original bodies made in Southern California way before Polyform copied them. Easy to tell, because the originals were hand laid with resin and cloth and are light enough to be picked up by one person.

Re: Speedster Body for sale boat tail
Hi Claud/Bob,
Just question or two. Is the radiator shell for a high radiator? looks to set up higher than the cowl? Do you have a pic of the tail from the side?
I hope I don't rub someone wrong but I prefer the profile of the tail in the ad as opposed to the upswept ones in the color pics. Is it the hand laid
fabric or the chopper gun laid glass?

Re: Speedster Body for sale boat tail
My body is a chopper gun type. You can see the radiator shell is the same height as the cowl
The tail has a nice tapper down
I think the upsweep look is just the camera angle.

Re: Speedster Body for sale boat tail
Hi Bob,
Tried calling Claud several times with no response. Radiator shell maybe a camera angle. The side view will tell if the tail swoops up on the
rear bottom looking like a stink bug or has the same profile top & bottom as the ad pic does. Please don't take offence they are all super neat
looking I just prefer the lower style tail.
