C1 or C2 aftermarket bodies

[korvettekarl]

Does anyone make a complete aftermarket body for C1 or C2? I am looking for a new project and I want to build it with a new tube frame and a LS7 engine and trannie. I don't want to buy a complete car just for the body. Anybody know of someone making just the bodies? I prefer a 63 to 67 but would consider 57 to 62.

I know that they make aftermarket bodies for the 69 camaros, and apparently the fit on them is terrible (or so I have heard). I would only expect a fiberglass body to have even less quality control than a metal body which is stamped and welded. I know you said that you didn't want to buy a whole car, but why not buy a project car, remove the body, then part out the chassis to get some money back? The chassis is still worth some money, and the body will not be that aftermarket crap that fits poorly. Just a thought.

Have you looked into companies that build drag car bodies like hairy glass?

Vette Rod makes a 57 body:

I heard a while back that they were going to do a C2 also. There is also a company that makes a C2 Gran Sport body (I think).

I know that they make aftermarket bodies for the 69 camaros, and apparently the fit on them is absolutely terrible (or so I have heard). I would only expect a fiberglass body to have even less quality control than a metal body which is stamped and welded. I know you said that you didn't want to buy a whole car, but why not buy a project car, remove the body, then part out the chassis to get some money back?

We actually sell the 69 Camaro bodies here. They are now fitted with the doors and truck lid. The fit is pretty good and most the people that get the "new" bodies are really happy. :tomato:

I stand corrected. I was told that the fit of them was poor, I guess what I heard was incorrect. You got any pics of them?

I talked to someone who built a Dynacorn Camaro and said the fit required a lot of "tweaking" but overall was really impressed with the product.

Just those that Dynacorn supplied. You can go on line at classicindustries.com and look at the pictures in the Camaro catalog.

Whether these are "FULL" bodies or just a lot of add-ons..........not totally sure about that.
