I guess I'll add a couple and comment on some already noted:
American Autowire**9 Their basic mega kit had everything included but the wiper switch in the price not a bunch of add-ons like others. Good drawings, instructions and schematics.
Billet Specialties**9 Good quality, not particularly pricey compared to some tho I did have a wheel valve hole a bit off.
Lokar**9 Great quality parts. The instructions are horrible and rate a 4. I again spoke to one of their reps at NSRA Burlington this past Saturday and his response was that most are being rewritten and are about 60% done. My e-brake cable instructions - thank goodness for me being a Mech Engr.
Brookville '30-'31 body (Deuce - don't say it
) Mine - it rates a **3 for quality.
Summit**10 - there is no better tho their 'handling' charges are getting up there
TCI Chassis **6 My Stage 3 Chrome and stainless arrived with everything dumped in a box which means everything shiny went back, after a battle, for replacement. The engine mounts are an inch too far back which caused more then a few assembly headaches - but lots of radiator clearance.
Street and Performance **8.5 After a while they got my brackets almost right but still needed a .125 shim under the a/c bracket for perfect alignment.
Dick Spadaro Early Ford **10+. He put up with my regular trips to his shop, argued with TCI and Brookville with me plus stopped by my house to see what my pain was on the body.
Of all many I have dealt with in my build, only Brookville totally upset me. The fact that there were so many quality problems probably has cost me over a year in time to finish my car. Rework, rework, rework. And yes, I am well aware that there will always be some extra work on any repro bodied car - but not on every single piece. Everyone else was more then helpful.Dave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug

Right after I posted yesterday it was down again, I don't think it's getting better.
Where is everybody?
