Default Where to buy one-piece front end for Hot Rod car?

I'm looking to buy a one-piece front end for a Hot Rod car. Something like Eggum or Gardella/Tran's old one.

Does anyone have any information about where I can get one and cost?

Thanks.

We have a NEW mold for our frontend for 2007, we made changes to allow for more tire growth at a LOWER ride height.

It weighs about 30lbs.

This is a direct fit for a EK 96-2000 civic

It took us 3 years and a shitload of money to get what we have available.

PM for Detail and Pricing.

Im in the process of trying to find a CRX front end for an all motor car. Its been 2 months of searching and I havent found a thing. Nobody makes them anymore from what i understand. If anyone has one or knows someone who has one for sale, or even better, knows of someone still making them, PLEASE PM me with the info.

Is Franks custom fiberglass producing anything anymore? From what I hear MB products sold their molds or have them for sale. Not even sure if they had a 1 piece for a teg but I bet they did. Must not be enough money in it for companies to keep making them is all I can figure. The molds must exist somewhere though.

i thought that MB still has the molds for their original stuff. thats the impression that i got anyways. they just moved on to other stuff not import related.

Yah they do I saw a post a few months back that they had all the molds for sale. As far Franks I have heard the same response from a few people. I would say Kens Custom Chassis but I think they used to get a lot of stuff built at Franks. In any case I checked Kens site and they have a front end for the RSX but not late model teg. You will have to go used or beg MB to build you one if they have a mold for it. Other than that you would probably have to go custom and try to pick a place local. I see you're in LA so I would think that would be a good place to find a used front end.

PS I wold be happy to tell you how to tackle the job on your own if you can't find one. It aint easy but can be done by someone in their garage if you have the time and patience to do it.

Franks Fiberglass just got done with our front end for us 2 days ago. He knocked it out in 3 weeks..... Plug work.... MOLD...... front end.
I talked to him on the phone propably 8 times in the last month.

If he does not answer........LEAVE A MESSAGE.........he is propably in the shop working. Fiberglass work is not something you can just walk away from to answer a phone. He is a 1 man operation.

Myself and 3 other people I know have all called him several times over the last 3 months, all of us have left him messages, not one of us has goten a call back.

The people who have delt with him and received products from him have nothing but good things to say about him and his work. I just havent been able to get past the getting ahold of him part to become a customer quite yet.

I'm aiming towards this since I can't find anything else, just not sure how the more rounder front would look on a 4th gen civic hatch. Rick at MB Products said he can make a front for me, its just that he has no idea when he would have time.
