    Bill passed away a long time ago but he was based in socal. His son may still be there so you might try a search and get lucky. There was at least one car with Mcann bodywork around the concord area, and I think there may be one car with that bodywork in san jose as well. I'll see if I can find him.....

    I checked last night and it appears to all be there. Will pull it out for photos this morning. It's pretty rough (and was when I bought the car, which is why I replaced it), but if you want it you can have it...tho you'll need to come pick it up.

    More photos. Oh, and to correct something...it's not *pretty* rough...it's VERY rough. The front piece is about 6' or 7' long, by 5'4" wide. The rear piece is the same width, but only about 4-5 feet long. Very heavy hand laid fiberglass under gelcoat.

    Yikes, Do the pieces have any structural integrity?

    Not much, honestly. I didn't want to second-guess your choice of the McGann bodywork, but i took it off right away and replaced it with Cheetah bodywork.

    I don't know if there are any McCann molds still in existence, but the AMAC is a contemporary of the McCann/Decker/Fox and the molds are still in good shape and still being used to make bodywork/repairs. The molds owner is David Arken, who is an active member of this forum; his user name is sccadsr31. Look him up in the member list and send him an email. In the meantime I will let him know about this thread. Cheers, Stan

    Merry Christmas
