Deuce, I can tell you are a die hard Deuce owner, and very passionate about your steel '32s. I've saved some pics of your project on the coupe and I value your information and knowledge. I'm sure I'll have many more questions in the future.

In my opinion ... the Wescott is at least TWICE as good as a N&N ... but unfortunately they cost three times as much.

I have looked at the Wescott bodies and agree, they are probably the top of the line fiberglass body on the market, but you are also right about the price. By the time you factor in some of their options, they are only slightly lower in price than some of the steel bodies on the market which I already eliminated from my build budget. I'm looking to spend around $20k for a body and chassis combo only, then continue on from there. $20k wouldn't even get me a Wescott body with simple options, so I need to look elsewhere unless you know where I can get a sweet deal on one. Some of the things that are important to you and others are not so important to me, I don't want/need a cowl vent, ribbed firewall, or chrome windshield frame, but I do want to find something in my budget that comes recommended as a quality product, once again, that's the intent of my original post. Going back to my early days as a kid interested in cars, I always thought the street rod hobby was about being different, it would be pretty sad to see the same cars with only different paint.
