Thread: Gibbon Fibberglass Reproductions

They sold quite a few of their molds. Kyle also sold the drag coupe. The story at the time was that they were selling the old, but still excellent molds in order to make new and improved molds.

The website is still active, but check the 2003 show schedule. Yep, 2003, not 2005. Emails aren't answered. Phone says they're closed until May 27. No phone number - just a post office box.

Clues, clues, clues . . .

Last time I was in the shop, Kyle was involved in drag racing, NASCAR, large model airplanes, antique airplances, and trucks. Building street rods seemed to be the hobby rather than the business. The cars have been crap for the last couple of years at least. Anyone who goes to Gibbon instead of Redneck, Wescott, and a couple of other SERIOS builders deserves what they get. That's from first-hand experience. I bought a Gibbon because I used to get stuff from the old man. If there were mulligans in rod building, I'd give myself a doey over and go Redneck. Also, if I had a car on order, I'd be more than a little concerned.
