Hello Bob I live in the Great State of Maine. I'm a third generation of boat builders. I have built fiberglass boats all of my life to lobster fish in. To answer your question about heating fiberglass ( No) it will not bend at all you will just set it on fire Your best wat is to make relift cuts in the glass and then reglass the cuts .

There is so much to know about fiberglass. Wish I was there to give you some tips, maybe we could chat some time. One of the first things is to make some sort of steel frame to mount your parts to. From there it is fairly straight forwards. Looking forward to the project.

I like the idea of gasser type spokes on the front. You could spindle mount them and re-arch the front spring to get a nose high gasser stance. There are two types of fiberglass resin. Use the epoxy type as it is stronger. To help hold the shape of the tops of the doors you could bend up a steel tube to be the middle of the structure. Glue this to the bottoms of the doors and cut and paste the top pieces. Then fill in the gaps with resin and glass fibers. It's going to be messy and itchy so wear gloves and apply baby powder. This should be interesting. Set the engine back and build a cover out of aluminum sheet. The suicide doors of the '34 open the correct way for access. A 6 point roll bar for safety with you sitting near the rear axle complete the street gasser look. Interior should be aluminum sheet as your last car worked out well and this one will too. Lots of episodes to come. I'm along for the ride.

Heat will only shrink the resin and not the fiberglass. It might move 1/16 of an inch. You will need to relieve cut and refiberglass Bob. Get some Duraglss and Kitty hair, a full face respirator and tyveck coveralls and a box or latex gloves. I could fiberglass boats. That going to be a sweet one Bob. Can't wait to see it done. If you need any advice feel free to reach out about fiberglass. My dad was a cistom car builder and worked with George Barris and helped buld/ Paint the Munsters Mobile and the Pink panther Cars and a few others. So I learned at an early age from one of the best in the biz.

I have some experience in fiberglass, but far from a pro.. but I did deal with body fitment issues on a 73 corvette once. The car had had front and rear collision damage and the guy that did the initial repair slapped it together half ass using parts from about or 4 different years. A friend that had bought the car for a song begged me to have a Crack at it. I found if I made radius cuts in the fiberglass and found ways to clamp/brace it in place then reglassed the cuts, it would stay in place. I used mat and cloth with resin on the back of the panel and chopped mat mixed into duraglass for the outside exposed cuts. This is one of those things where you step back, look at it, then feel it, and use your best judgment.

@RatRodBobBuilds no problem! Epoxy doesn't add any extra strength. Pink foam and packing tape make great molds. You can get fiberglass and resin at your local hardware store for doing boat repairs. Mat fiberglass adds a lot of thickness but you should go over mat with cloth for a nice finish. Chip brushes are great for epoxy and they are cheap. Dab the resin on. Don't brush.

The couple of glass cars I built the lack of door handles and weatherstripping issues drove me bonkers. I made some linkage and added door handles to my Vicky cuz I hate door poppers. Luckily you're way schmarter than me. Fiberglass is tuff, no bending, only cutting and reglassing to reshape. Wear a mask with ALL cutting, sanding and grinding, but you prolly knew that. The 34's are super cool cars.
