options for 'glass front end?

looking into a fiberglass front end to drop some weight...primarily for drag use but will still see limited street use.

i know usbody makes glass front ends but do they only have tilt fronts? do they have wheel wells glassed in? I would prefer to find a front end the equivelent of the attached camaro front end for my 83 c10....light weight removable front that the hood can still be removed separately... thanks.

USBody only sells 1 piece front ends. You closest bet is http://www.glassworksunlimited.com/ They sell fenders only, but they are offroad with a bulge.

Others to ask, but not sure they will have what you want.
