You THINK he's out the money? Man, that ship sailed almost five years ago.

Has anyone seen a Redneck body lately? I was checking that out, about $12+, but the stock height looks different.

Haven't seen one lately, did one for a customer about 4 years ago, very nice body!

Redneck's '32 body is not chopped so that's why it looks different.

Redneck custom fabricates to your order on the '32 coupe, "Our 32 Ford kit cars are all built to your specifications. When you purchase one from Redneck you'll receive standard features most competitors don't offer. Build your own 32 Ford Coupe with a custom chopped (1"-3" or more) or angled top." Like Lynn says, their promo shots are often stock roof height. I recall talking to a guy at GGNW Nat's in Pleasanton about his nice looking car and that his car was a Redneck body, but I cannot recall which car it was out of the 200+ pictures I took When I was looking I could not see paying 2X for their body, but they do make a good product that holds up well over time.

I just contacted Redneck's and they do have a chop available for an extra cost, but it would put it within $3-$5000 of the Wescott, which is already chopped, but then with the few add on's, the Wescott is within $4k of the Brookville, but the Brookville is not chopped, so actually the stock height Redneck's is looking pretty good at this point.
Has anyone heard what the Brookville's are selling for, or is the demand still strong enough that they can still easily get the $25k+ retail price?

If you 'hit' Brookville at an NSRA or Goodguys show, they will quite often discount anything they have with them so they don't have to take it home. Other then that, a friendly shop owner might be able to come up with an appropriate price if you end up buying lots more parts from him. My '31 Brookville had a bunch of bucks off list - no shipping or crating charges and a couple of other options were priced right. Much of the rest of the car did come from my dealer so he made out otherwise. I did pay a price on quality though as body and paint prep went on forever. If you are an accomplished body man, then not a big deal.

Oh yeah - the final cost - gasp, gag!! In my case about 2x what I thought it would be and if I were to do it again, probably could do it within a time and dollar budget as my past vertical learning curve - it's now closer to flat/horizontal
