Guys, first of all, I want to thank all of you for your insight and information and I do truly appreciate it, but my intention with this thread was not a debate over the ‘flooded market of Deuces’ or the value of my car down the road if I ever decided to sell it (at my age, not likely to happen, the wife will have that concern), not the value of a steel or fiberglass body (I already mentioned in my original post that a steel body was out of my budget), and certainly not the ‘dime a dozen’ attitude about building a Deuce Coupe.

I’m not trying to be brash or disrespectful at all, please do not take it that way. I started this thread to gather information for a project that I’ve always wanted to do, a Deuce Coupe. The thread was intended to found out the quality of the samples given and to find out other possible choices to get me headed in the right direction for a safe, reliable, fun car project.

My main concerns are finding reputable companies that sell quality products. I’m not looking for the cheapest products out there, I won’t buy a body/frame package from someone on eBay building these things in Grandpa’s barn. I was looking for solid information from the seasoned, everyday guys like you who have done this work before and could/would steer a new guy along the path.

Can we please get back on track?

Thanks,
Mike
