[From foreword] Throughout the United States, from home garages to the great auto centers in Detroit, fiberglass cars are being built. A natural outgrowth of the steel or aluminum body, fiberglass allows a freedom of design never before available to the body builder. Probably the greatest single advantage of fiberglass is that any one with ingenuity and perseverance can build a car body according to his own ideas without expensive tools. This booklet is offered with the idea of describing the general methods of fabricating glass car bodies to the end that the means and the materials are made known to everyone interested. By the application of this information and the combination of effort and ingenuity, fiberglass car bodies can be built by the average person without previous experience. It must not be expected that a car body can be made without a certain amount of determination. The use of fiberglass is a matter of technique which is readily acquired but not without some actual experience of handling the materials involved. The main thing is to know the materials required and the mistakes to avoid. Contents: Foreword; Fiberglass Materials; Car Body Styling; Mock-Up (Male Mold); Production Molds (Female Mold); Making the Body; Attaching Body; Trimming; Finishing.
