Hi Gerard,

Thanks for the info on Smoothline.  Are there any listers out there who have
used Smoothline's body panels?  They are intriguing, but my experience so
far with Sprite fiberglass body panels has been that they were mainly built
for racing purposes, and they have a hard time keeping shape.  These panels
look like thay were meant to be true replacements, not racing upgrades.
