I appreciate you referring me to the company you know of that does fiberglass fabrication. If I was to set up production on my own or with another established company without a Patent in force, then if either of the two people who have filed applications after me are granted a Patent, they would then sue me for Patent infringement.

Best of luck to you CFECO with the X-Car. I wish I had the skill set to develop a vehicle like that.

Brett,there's also a fiberglass swimming pool manufacturer in Sanger,TX that expressed a definite interest in aero components.They also do the shot gel-coat with chopper/resin behind it.Snug Top fabricates this way.
I never could get a price on a master mold and tooling to see if I could get into it.So much for local toolmakers!Let us know if we can help at all.
