From earlier posts I understood that you are looking at 32 bodies. You asked me what options I had ordered on my Brookville body.

You might want to look at the following website: www.fastlanerodshop.com

A really neat site that shows and describes in allot of detail unique things they have done in building street rods. Their resume of building award winning cars is extensive. Under "Recent Pictures Added" you might want to click on "32 Brookville Roadster Project". Their description is: "The bodies are second to none in quality. This is the only way to go when building a high quality '32 Roadster!" They build cars using Henry"s original steel, glass and steel reproductions.

Good luck on your project!

Yes ... but they are the ones SELLING them also ... Like a good used car salesman saying ... it was owned by a little old lady school teacher ... :rolleyes:
The one shown is easily told from a original 32 Ford roadster .... no wooden rear tack strip and no place in the doors for the side curtains ...

Dave Lane is a talented builder. Alan Button's '32 3w is even finer in person than those pictures.

D.R. - They can now put the curtain holes in the doors, but you are right, no tack strip.

Thanks for the information. I got a good price from Brookville to deliver a body to Daytona but my wife doesn't want another open car. I would go for a 3w coupe but it's twice the price and a lot more to it like interior, a/c, etc. We'll see.
