Rossi built engines for Gary Balough's late model cars in the late '70s & early '80s. He "disappeared" in 1983.

Drywall fiberglass mesh is what I use. Comes in a roll. Find it at any hardware, home improvement place. It's pretty close.

Not sure if this answers your question.
In those years, a fellow named Bobby Brown, built a lot of engines for BA.
