    That is the company I bought the 34 from.I was pleased with the body for the most part but the hood with straight sides (3 piece) was a piece of crap fit wise.If I had it to do over I would have bought the Rotleib Hood.I had to re-do the running board braces.I had to re-work the floor to clear the 700r4 fluid inlet outlet lines. One fender was very thin in the wheel well and I asked for a replacement but they said no. I added a brace to correct the problem.The body needed very little prep.before painting.Now the chassis had some problems with motor mounts,radiator mounts,and cross member behind the tranny.The drive shaft universal was w/n 1/2 in. of the cross member.Price wise they were better when I was looking.LOL

    rspears,

    You can't ask for a better reference than Kenny. If you've seen his work, you'll believe it. If you haven't . . . believe it anyhow.

    I'll back that up and when I win the lottery Kenny, you and I will be having a talk about my new roadster! (A guy can dream huh?)\

    Not to change the subject Kenny, how did the James Brown car turn out after the little mishap at Springfield last year?
