made a trip to "Mister Fiberglass" once .
Picked up a 62 Plymouth hood from there.




Hi, new here. Is Mr. Fiberglass still in business? Eric ?? I believe his name was. Bought '62 hood, trunk, bumpers from hiim years ago. Lost track of him.




I believe he left the glass business about 30 years ago. I bought 2 hoods from him in the late 70's. When I saw him last he was building the ultimate sleeper. An all fiberglass Chrysler Imperial that he was going to put a big stroker engine in and go Street Racing. Wonder if it ever got finished and where it is today. I'm thinking that his name was Eric Hanson and I think I read somewhere that he owns Stage V Engineering. http://www.stagev.com/




GC ... I actually stopped production in the mid-90's to persue other automotive interests. As I have said previously ...I plan on REVIVING Mister Fiberglass in a warmer climate. Oh ..I am not any part of Stage V Engineering.

That Imperial ? .. I never did anything myself on that BUT DID help out Larry Peternel with his pro-stocker. He built the car totally HIMSELF ... and ran a best of 7.60's IIRC.

Tom ...Sudden Death ... GOOD STUFF

I was OUT THERE the night Yates was there

I left the Nugget at around 11am on Friday morning .... LONG nite/morning - LOTS of coffee

Sure hope I can get Sudden Death looking as good as the Bullet! At least close. I don't know how much detailing I'll do underneath, since it is going to get driven a bit. It has suffered from long term storage and neglect over the years, but no longer.

Does anyone remember if Ruggirello's Mustang's fiberglass bumpers ever got painted body color, or did they stay pastel gray?

Can anyone please help me out with the bumpers on this car? I want to get it right.

I know they were gray when he first installed the glass bumpers, but did Joe ever have them painted to match the car?

Doc? Anyone?

Thanks,
Tom

The pics of after Sully bought-it are above !! .... HONESTLY ....I have never seen the car(after he got it) up-close ... but just from the pics .. the car is in no-way "correct". Just two items that stand-out .. the car never had chrome bumpers ....and the muff-system never hung-down like that.

WHERE did he find it ? .... when I bought it in the early 80's .... I knew the guy(worked at CTC) who had bought it from a body-shop-guy and he just wanted to broom it. IF this body-shop-guy had not hung NEW extended wheel-well-opening quarter-panels on it ....I would have never sold it ...OR at least as cheap as I did.

Tom ... Honestly ... I think that those bumpers were put-on after Joe owned it .. but I would not bet-my-life on that.

YOU KNOW a ton more about the car than I do .. but I heard the Joe sold the car to a guy in FL .. that was in the PORN industry ...

Is that so ? ..

A friend of mine in Warren, Ohio bought the Challenger (minus engine and lenco) off of Lisk shortly after the car appeared at the Street Machine Nationals at Indy. I don't remember what year that was. Late 70's? He put a crossram Hemi and 727 in it along with a T/A hood in place of the Tunnelram hood.

The car was repainted after thieves broke into his garage and stole his tools. They dragged his tool boxes over the front of the car to get to the window. He was heart broken. He said he would have left his tools out in the driveway if it would have kept these kids away from the car. I think he only drove it a couple of times after the repaint and then it sat for a few years.

We lost track of the car after he sold it. Did either of you buy it from him? I think he might still have the engine and trans that he had in the car and if I remember correctly the Lisk engine and trans went into Lisk's brother's car. It's too bad the Lisk Challenger seems to have disappeared into obscurity. I concider it one of the pioneers of the ProStreet movement.

Here's a little trivia I have never seen printed anywhere. Mike Fons built the car for Steve out of a bunch of parts salvaged from a wrecked Prostock Colt. That's why the ladder bars where so short.




I grew up just east of Warren Ohio, who was it that owned the car from Warren?

Damn that was alot of years ago... I use to hang out
at the station with Jimmy and some of the guys(I was
young then... about 16) and seen Jimmy run quite a
few times... I had a red and white 62 Dodge Dart back
then and thats when I got a hemi to drop in it... this
was about 68 or 69.... I'm pretty sure it was a Shell
station south of 14... damn thats ALONG time ago.
I can remember asking all sorts of questions back
then.... I'm sure I was just a bother to those guys
but they didnt mind helping out the punk kid... LOL
