60s & 70s fiberglass companys?

who was making fiberglass parts for tri 5 chevys back in the day?

 

Anderson Industries, AKA Ai Fiberglass, located in Elkridge, Maryland during that period produced a full line of one piece front ends, doors, trunk lids, bumpers, etc.

 

Thanks Rich! that was the one i was lookin for.

 

Bought a set of fenders and splash aprons for a Model A from AI back in the '60s and drove back to Providence, RI with them strapped to the roof of a '60 VW bug. I sold the A in '76 and the glass was still in great shape.

 

Rich, Your contribution is noted in their website.

There was also Fiberglass Trends (ORange CA) and A&A Specialties (Placentia, CA)that were both big in Tri Five stuff. Both were pioneers in fiberglass parts along with Challenger Equipment of Azusa, CA

 

I finally found an old catalog cover proof that includes the later "funky" version of the Ai Logo.

 

ugh. That stuff is sooo bad...

 

A buddy of mine still makes a complete 1955 Chevy body or just parts - www.fastglass55.com

 

Here are some photos - double skinned and a really high quality item:

 

Yeah, steel is real, but AI 'Glass is the next best thing.
