Brookville is an actual replica where Rod Bods (are they still in business) have many deviations for hot rodding, Both are good starts.

By the way Steve, your '32s - I prefer all shades of pink rather then multi toned bodies

Streamline in Denver bought the Rod Bod tooling in the last year or two and now call it the Denver Deuce, operating under a subsidiary called Deuce America Corp. I haven't seen one of their bods up close, but if they didn't improve the tooling/assembly procedure quite a bit I'd go for the Brookville.

Stevie, you make a fine protege'.

My roadster body is a Rodbods, One of the very 1st. The picture of the car was hanging in their office in Sparks. The Rodbod IMO has a better inner structure than Brookville. 10 years of road time & body still looks great.
Yea- they took a few liberties w/ the cowl, firewall & doors but if I wanted correct- I'd look for Henry steel.

On a 3 window- I'd like to have to have the real deal but the price of a great body would run me off. I have a friend in Arizona who found a 3w project a few years ago. Paid 50k for it. But it's real & in the end, will be worth a great deal more.
