I got an Outlaw '32 3W body from Yogi's three years ago, and that body is awesome. It took very little block sanding to get it ready for paint, and the workmanship throughout is excellent. No complaints, and their customer service is second to none. If you buy from Yogi, he will give you a good discount. Yes, the extra money is definitely worth it. You will have to spend less at the body shop so the money will even out in the long run.

Two buddies of mine have had Outlaw '33/4's. The two of them together used less than a cup of filler to get the bodies smooth enough to put first class paint jobs on them. They're worth the extra up front cost in reduced prep time and $.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

For example, take a look at how nicely the grille is finished between those 35 stainless steel ribs. Can you imagine how long it's going to take to fix that? Hours of filing and finishing 74 slots narrower than your finger width - then getting the 'glass off of all the ribs that they left on there?

Hope I'm not boring you . . .
Note how well the window garnish hides the outside door shell and the electric window channel.
. . . and how nicely the underside of the hood is finished. Ain't raw glass nice? That'll take a minute too.

Outlaw makes a great body.... Redneck also are not bad but I think here are some issues with door fit. I have seen them all checked them all and decided to go with this company.

VERY VERY straight....less than a cup of plastci and I feel my car is one of the straightest cars you will find bar none.... not bragging just I am very picky. My cars I do drive but they are built to show and are shown with a leading company in the automotive finishing field. Only the best will do
I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
