ABOUT BRINKLEY MANUFACTURING

We make dreams a hotrod reality!

If your dream is to own one of the hottest composite fiberglass street rod bodies available, you’ve come to the right place. We’re Brinkley Manufacturing, located just outside of Portland, Oregon and our roadster and phaeton bodies combine quality and cutting-edge design.


The bodies available from Brinkley Manufacturing were developed a decade ago as the Zipper Roadster, and still win high praise for their features and distinctive design.

Take for example the curved frameless windshield. The windshield and hood design replace the stock cowl and windshield frame to produce a smooth, elegant transition between the body and the glass. Talk about an attention getter and the added bonus of greater visibility from the cockpit.


Both bodies feature longer doors (10-inches longer) that swing open at a 90-degree angle, to give you a greater level of ease when entering and exiting the car. Also, each body features a 3-piece, rear-hinged hood. Combined, it’s a sweet body structure that is long, low, and custom. However, with all of these changes, both the roadster and phaeton bodies are designed to fit on a stock 106-inch wheelbase chassis.

It’s not just about looks, so Brinkley Manufacturing builds every body unparalleled in strength and rigidity. The entire body, including the doorjambs, door sills, firewall, and bulkhead, is completely reinforced with handcrafted steel to make it strong and durable.

Featured in countless magazines over the years and with enthusiastic owners worldwide, Brinkley Manufacturing’s products make the custom one-off body available to everyone at a value-packed price.

Bodies are sold as a “system” containing: the main body, decklid, hood & side panels, grille shell and windshield. (The doors and decklid come latched, hinged, and installed.) Options include: functional gas door, gas tank, fenders, tops (for both the roadster and phaeton), interior package, and stretched hood (to fit a 112-inch wheelbase frame). Additionally, the you may choose a ’33-style grille and hood.


We are committed to making your street rod dream a reality! We’re currently taking orders for bodies and rolling chassis packages, but we also have the ability to develop your project in its entirety.
