You should be able to get some built locally at a machine shop.Hows the Pacifica widebody project going?You need to get that kit test fitted then have a mold of it made up.Spare panels for that rare of kit is a good thing.Is your car a SE or 12a car?

Racer X,it's a 12a with all the options that were available. It originally was a B.C. car & the girl that 1st bought it moved to Ontario,where an old(deceased) friend bought it & I inheritate it from him. I've just finished doing all the glassing & bondo, she should be on the road this week-end.How hard & how much do you figure it would cost to make additional molds.I have a friend who is a machinist, but we wouldn't know where to start???

CP racing sells a 5 bolt adaptor kit for 1st gens with 12a's in them. You need a gsl rear end with the disk brakes, and the bolt pattern is the same as a 2nd gen tII or a GXL...
