I do have pretty extensive fiberglass experience though. I'm pretty sure it would be snap to pop out a few if you only had a mold to work with. The problem of course, is getting someone who owns such a rare & unique cab to let you pull a mold off of it.

What is involved with pulling the mold? Would there be risk of damage to the original?
Stingray:
In a nutshell you wax the origianal, apply mold release, then gelcoat, then fiberglass. If done correctly the chances of damaging the original are minimal, but of course it's impossible to say 100% that it wouldn't be.

Right. If I had one, I'd do it... I've always wanted a Computer Space, even a repro would do for me.
MonitorGuru:
sadly, much like Mame and all the multi's, it would severely lower the value of the authentic things and only lead to scammers pawning off the repro's as original.

Not if the people creating the repros made it different enough that it can't be mistaken for an original... maybe casting the word REPRODUCTION into the fiberglass in the back or something.
Plus, the value of the originals is not my concern.
