I was just going to pass on this one, but I can't. Diamond, you do of course have the right to your own opinion, but saying that guys who build glass cars are not artistic is bordering on snobbish.
There are many very high quality 'glass bodied cars on the road today that show very artistic styling and some very innovative modifations done with and to the glass. Steel cars do not have the market cornered on artistic impression, and to say they do is very narrow minded.
If someone wants to build a '34 Ford, what are there options?? Search for years to find a rusted out hulk in some cow pasture, pay a huge price for a done or an original car, or buy a 'glass body from one of the quality manufacturers. Many of us will opt for the glass body, and do the mods we feel are necessary to express our artistic interests.
I will agree that building with tin requires a lot of talent and experience. But building with glass requires a lot of talent and experience to come up with a quality product also. The artistic part of building a car is in the concept, design, fit, and finish of the car, not in the materials used.
I will apologize to you in advance if you find this post offensive, it is not intended to be. But to say that "anybody can use fiberglass" is inaccurate, to say the least. Just had to speak my mind, that's all.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
