Mike,
Glad to hear that you pulled the trigger. I will be watching with interest, with special interest in how things go with Duane at N&N. Are you carrying your TCI chassis up to Duane to build your body?

Roger, I started to send you an email with the news, but I knew you would see it here, now it's your turn to get started!!! I talked to Duane again last Monday before ordering the chassis, even though he likes to do it that way (attach the body with the floor already on your chassis), it isn't absolutely necessary. Since Duane is 1000 miles away, I don't plan on making several trips back and forth to Arkansas just to fit the body to my chassis. I'm working with a very reputable builder here in Tampa that has the skills to form every piece of his '34 & '37 bodies for the Woodies he builds so I am confident he can guide me thru the entire build process.
One of the details I failed to remember when we ordered the chassis was whether or not to get a Posi unit with the rear end. I've been debating all weekend if I should call TCI to get the Posi included, what do you think???

A game plan is #1 priority. Last thing you want is a "confused" looking build.
Mine has a TCI under it. Pretty happy w/ it. If I was doing it over- I'd probably do the one from So-Cal instead.
Oh- and stuff a Hemi in it.

".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
