Fantastic Plastic with Pinky Hannah and Paul Cooper
Fiberglass shells emulating famous 50s and 60s race cars have captivated the imagination of enthusiasts and builders just about everywhere.
Pinky and Paul are a couple of blokes who know their way around fibreglass and they are capturing the classic racing vibe (in a Huge Way) down under in the land of Oz!
They manufacture Fibreglass Shells which allows a builder to transform the minimalist design of a Lotus 7 style car into a sleek retro-ride with iconic lines of classic brands like Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Jaguar.
The flexibility of fibreglass as a material has enabled Pinky and Paul to capture distinctive curves and sexy contours with gobs of nostalgic flair. This melding of a modern lightweight chassis with timeless aesthetic appeal provides a unique driving experience which really turns heads.
These “kits” are offered as bare bone shells (right now).
If you are the kind of bloke who likes nocking about in the shed, then this solution might be just right for you.
The end result will be a vehicle that not only turns heads with its classic good looks but also delivers exhilarating driving dynamics.
