    Hi All , I am restoring a late 50's early 60's tq midget. I am looking for a body for it. New one would be great, but a nice used one would also work. If anyone would happen to know of any or anyone that makes them if you could let me know I would sure appreciate it. Thanks

    from Wa.

    Most of the guys I knew that had TQ's took old standard midget bodys and shrunk them.
    It's not much of a job for a body man.

    I have a body that came out of Bill Waddills estate sale, and is believed to be from the 70's era. Here is a pic, I am not sure if it what you are looking for. I am unsure of the actual size, but I bought it because it was cool. I would be willing to sell it for $125.00. It is fiberglass, only the tail has metal reinforcements. -Joe

    I'm restoring a 52 TQ myself. I needed a nose so I purchased one from Speedway and cut it up. I basicly took 2" off the height and width plus 4" off the length it now fits great.
