In the 70's there were fiberglass conversion parts available to make a
standard Midget look like one of the racing coupes developed by Jacobs.
The conversion consisted of a longer fiberglass front end with a smaller
grill opening, and a sort-of fastback hard top. I have heard that
several hundred faux Jacobs coupes were so made. I would like to find
the fiberglass front end from one of these conversions. This conversion
is not to be confused with the Sebring coupes developed using the Mark I
Sprite. At least one supplier in England can supply the Sebring front
end in fiberglass. I heard a rumor that a body shop in Toledo, Ohio has
the molds for both of the Jacobs pieces. Does any one have suggestions
to aid in this quest?
