Thinking about building an 1965 AFX car for the street. I need to decide is it's a Dodge or Plymouth, plus if sedan or hardtop. It's going to depend on what fiberglass stuff is available these days. 1) Does anyone still make fiberglass doors.
Jim Schild put out an incredibly detail book about the 65 AWB cars, I got a copy from Mancini Racing. Excellent reference source for build details.

For reference, my Plymouth still has the factory fiberglass parts and bubble windshield.

The only "factory" sedan was Bill Flynn's Yankee Peddler, the rest of the factory cars were all hardtops.
There were quite a few privately done cars, a lot of them were converted A990 cars.

We make all the altered wheelbase fenders, doors, bumpers, hood, a/fx scoop, trunk lid, and dash board for both Dodge and Plymouth. We are Sled City Fiberglass 1-614-875-0369,and we are supplying AWB parts to about one car a month . If you need a "Bubble Windshield" you can get them at Pro Glass.

I's all cool but this will be an ill driveing thing on the streets unless you do some modern suspension stuff do weight and balance on the wheelbase. Shock factor....go for it!
