I just received a message from Alberto Averill, aaverillcl@hotmail.com, President of the Chilean Volvo Club, in which he states that he has located a fiberglass molder in Chile who does bodies for replicars and who quoted him a price of US$316 to make a mold of a PV544 front clip, and US$158, i.e., 100K Chilean Pesos, for each "knock-off" made therein. That is a one-piece tub comprising fenders, hood, and frontal section. If the quality is any good, even if you double, or even tripple, that price to include shipping, it would still be a pretty good deal. The Chileans are apparently working on a project to resurrect PVs for racing. Albert does fine with English, so if you are interested, contact him.
