Inspired by a thread on accessnorton I did some searching and REdiscovered this about 68-72 norton and dunstall fiberglass origins, I knew I had seen something like this a LONG time ago.:

Great article Dave! Must be good quality if they're still around today.

Well if you think about it....the tanks like 2 (out of 3) different fastback versions. 3 different Dunstall commando tanks and my featherbed Dunstall tank and the INTERSTATE probably all came from Curley GRP. The only difference is that I want to replicate them in E-10 proof resin.
All the norton tanks and FB tail section had CMxyz part numbers in the mold/part.
The roadster also was their product and It was a different construction technique that I find very interesting. If interested, I can show anyone at the next tech session on saturday. However I have no interest in making them, though I am capable of doing so.......

With the help of Don Moreton, I am now engaged in this Dunstall atlas tank project with both feet and full speed ahead. I rounded up all my chemicals to note their condition and had to order some replacements today. Orange tooling gel and styrene will be here friday, oh goody...the rest looks OK.

Can my Dunstall tank be far behind?
