B and B uses Coremat® in constructing the bodies even though it is expensive and difficult to work with. Coremat® is is a microsphere filled, random laid, chopped fiber polyester fabric with excellent conformability. Laminate thickness can be quickly increased with reduced resin usage, resulting in overall weight savings of 18 to 30% compared with an all-glass lay up. Gel coat appearance is enhanced through the print blocking abilities of Coremat®, which also provides high impact damage tolerance with twice the insulation value of all-glass laminates. Labor saving with faster laminate thickness building and reduced VOC emissions are also realized with Coremat®. Coremat can be used where other core materials must be deleted to segregate from fasteners, cut-outs and through-hole fittings. It also provides a high degree of screw holding capability. This extra attention to the construction increases the strength of our body and acts as a sound dampener in the completed car. Solid design and engineering, quality materials and attention to detail make this kit a solid foundation to begin building your dream coupe. ** NOW ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN OPEN WHEEL HIGHBOY MODEL **

3 Window Body Components |
34 Coupe Reinforced Frame |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The
3 Window Coupe Kit also has return lips on all fenders and body openings
for additional strength and to provide a more finished look. Doors, hood
and trunk all have inner steel framing completely glassed in for safety,
strength and durability. Each
'34 frame features a 2" X 4" rectangular steel design with an X-Member between
frame rails to eliminate diagonal stress on the car. Without the X-Member,
any frame will have a greater tendency to twist. Eliminating flex in the
frame also results in better fit and finish. |

The frame also incorporates
steel brace under the dashboard and between the cabin and trunk for greater
strength. The steel brace
behind the seats also serves as a solid connection point for the door
hinges. Many of today's kit cars simply attach the door hinges to the
fiberglass resulting in starbursts in the paint later on. |

Fender brace |

| The running boards
are also supported with steel braces in two places making them strong enough
to stand on. Steel braces
under the front fenders not only support the fender but also provide a solid
mount for the headlights. |
