    32 Bodies

     



    Hey ya'll,,, great advise and info,,, sorry I've been off for a while. Working long hours leaves little time to get back online when I really want to.
    Let me figure out how to post pix and I'll start uploading them. Again,,, need to navigate the site and read all the how to's.
    I've talked with the folks over at Timeless and they have a body in stock. The plan has been to drive over taking the frame with me to check fit. After reading some of the above, I've asked them to email over pix of the actual body I would purchase if all goes well but haven't seen the pix just yet. Not going to make a trip until I've seen them.
    Sooo,,, this Friday I took off with niece and possible nephew in law for a swap meet in Fort Worth only to find out it's next weekend ha ha ha,,, guess I'm just really ready to get this thing going. But hey,,, we get to do it all over again this coming weekend. Had fun anyways.

    On the plan thing,,,, that's one of the things I've been wanting to lay out,,, problem is,,, where do you start??? meaning,,, do you build the chassis and all it's components first then lay on the body and work all that out?
    What are the areas that can paint yourself into a corner???

    I totally agree with getting a body that fits,,, having to modify,, rework,,, adjust adds so much extra time and effort.
    Talked with N&N and he will build a body on my frame and no they don't have a 5 window I may have to get use to that idea or keep searching,,, oh what to do??? Should I go the build it on the frame route,,, it will be 4 months or so before he can get it done. The good part would be that it fit's right.

    Well want to keep going here but I've got to get on some chores.
    Thank you all for chiming in and passing all this wisdom,
    HotRodN
