Is there a way to "bend" fibreglass?



Dan,

The kit is not from Showcars.  This fellow gets repros done.  He claims to get 
them from Germany (or something like that).  I have never met the guy but I've 
spoken to him once.  

I've never seen the kit up and personal so I can't comment on it's quality....
