mfg Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wow, if memory serves me correctly, I think somewhere over one hundred.....but for the life of me I can't picture that many separate fiberglass pieces being needed to build an Avanti!

I had heard 136 and as I am currently spending way too much time under the dash and in an empty engine bay, all these numbers seem realistic. There are a lot of bonded seams on these cars even in production form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
