downs bodies

been looking thru old posts, but don't see much on down's bodies any info or anyone have a 5 window? thank's, jack

I've been to the Downs Factory 4 times this year, Just pulled my frame down there Friday they're going to be building the body for my 3W Coupe in November.
A great bunch of people, and from what I can tell a great product.
I did a lot of asking around and heard all good.
Also talked to a number of guys at different car shows that had cars with Downs bodies and they were all happy with them.
Where are you located? I'm just an hour north of Lawton in Grand Rapids, so it's not to difficult for me to get down there.

Thank's for the reply, I am located in northern new jersey. I saw a 5 widow coupe at lead east car show this weekend and It was impecable! would like to know the progress on your build. the guy that owned the car is a hot rod builder and only uses down's bodies and is very happy with them. jack

Yeah downs is like 3hrs north of me, and i've heard alot of good things about them... nothing bad... friend of mine used to go there like 5-10 times a yr they also make kart bodies and he painted them..lol.. but hear their bodies are very nice..

I'm in email contact w/ Vicki at downs about once a week, and once it gets closer to my build, I'll probably be going down there at least once a week. If you've got any questions let me know.
They've got a pretty inclusive catalog, and they also have a DVD about their operation. If you need contact info, let me know.
I've been in their factory and seen bodies in all states of assembly and have been very impressed.
I also closely inspected another 3W that was ready for delivery and the fit and finish was as good as any I've seen, other than block sanding I'd say it was ready for paint.

HenryRifle will be along shortly. You better speak to him first.
