Some additional updating here.

As the title states, this thread was about a RUMOR. As it turns out, HR&HP is still going, and delivering bodies...........albeit late. Which is a whole bunch better than not at all!! Congatulations to them.

One of our buddies here, Mike in Tucson, just received his roadster body and indicates that he is generally pleased.

The coupe bodies are getting delivered as well, though I still am not impressed with the quality of the metal forming and finish. They had a couple bodies here last month at the GG deal and there are still a lot of waves, dips, and tapering gaps to deal with. Unless someone can find one of those exceedingly rare barn finds of a good original, this may still be a reasonable alternative when one takes a realistic look at resurecting a body with the bottom foot or so eaten away. No doubt these remain a high dollar deal either way if you have high standards.
