US Body Source has been manufacturing race-weight fiberglass body panels for serious race junkies for many years, with most popular race cars well-represented. Since US Body Source mostly manufactures panels for race applications, some finishing work should be expected for on those pieces for a perfect fit, especially if they will be painted. However, the company does also offer show-ready panels that are smooth-finished for those of us who just want our rides to look good.
Q: What is a body shell? Why buy one?
A: Body shells are complete stampings that replicate the original body of your vehicle. Faithful to the original lines and dimensions of your vehicle’s original body, full body shells are a great way to make your car new again. Whether you are repairing accident damage or doing a full restoration on your vehicle, body shells will save you countless hours of metal and body work allowing you to start with a perfect shape right from the beginning. So if your vehicle has extensive rust, damage, or corrosion, you do not have to give up on the project; a fresh body shell will give your ride a new lease on life. In addition it is possible to get body shells made out of different materials such as fiberglass, which have the performance advantage of being light weight, and are also resistant to rust. With body shells all the hard work is already done; just paint it the color of your choice and you will have an immaculate ride for years to come.
