Fiberglass Facts
It took an average of 2000 hours to build a finished fiberglass sports car from a kit bought in the early and mid 1950s. That is nearly a full year (50 out of 52 weeks) of 40 hour weeks! And we wonder why today so few attempted this ambitious adventure.

This is a great idea, love the possibility of seeing where they all happened in a single snap shot.
Hi if you go to my web site and click on the flicca link and search Briford sports you will find a v8 powered fibreglass kit car I produced in the 80′s. I’m on vacation at the moment in the states and found your email address in a magazine and looked it up. The computor here at the motel I’m in is very slow so I’ll have to wait until I return home in a couple of weeks to check out your web site fully. kind regards Brian Ford
