Thread: should I not buy a Street Beasts Car ?

Tweet

Minotti bodies were top notch from my experience with two of them that friends had. If the person bought the body originally they should have both a receipt and an MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin) which some states require for registration. You've stumbled on another pitfall.............misidentified manufacturer. Probably THE most respected manufacturer of '32 roadster bodies is Wescott. Guess which name people choose to call their body if they have absolutely no clue who made it? I'll bet Dee wishes he'd sold as many bodies as claim they're his.

As for being over analytical you have to decide. The way I see it it's like a tool you'll need to use over and over. Many people will by a cheapo copy claiming that they "can't afford" the good one. The good one will often last a lifetime if well maintained, the cheapo needs to be replaced/repaired again and again....................which one really cost more? Kind of a variation on the old saw, "if you didn't have the time/money to do it right the first time, how did you have the time/money to do it over?"
