The cheater TR3 is glass nose, fenders, hood and trunk. I collected the
bits from folks in the FOT. Unfortunately I don't remember who. I have
seen lots of glass for TR3s at swap meets, it's around. I presume you
don't care that most sanctioning bodies will frog march you and your car
right out of the pits.

I went down this road a long time ago, and came up empty handed. I
would be
interested in a trunk lid, and maybe fenders eventually. I was going to
try
to make the trunk lid myself. The Roadster Factory furnished me a
fiberglass
TR-3 nose piece several years ago, (Frank Stoddard is no longer there).
I
hope to find time to install this nose piece this year.
It would be heavier than the fiberglass nose pieces used by the super
stars,
but a lot lighter than the metal nose piece. This nose piece is not
just a
simple installation. It requires the shrouding off all of the open area
around the radiator -- some work and time, which get put off just trying
to
get the car on the track.
I have been using the same very heavy fenders since the early 70's.
They
consist of chopping the opening a little larger with a fire ax, brazing
on
sheet metal ledges, and using about a gallon of Bondo to make them
smooth on
top. They still display a few waves.
