Hi Everyone,
I'm brand new to the hotrod building process but I'm wanting to build a '41 Willys Coupe and was interested in finding out if anyone had anything to say about the body and chassis manufacturers. This will be my first build and I'm not a professional body or mechanic man, just a novice who has a dream. I realize this will be a very major project and will require alot of dedication, patience and time, but I'm willing and have thought about doing this for a few years. Not getting any younger - gotta do it now... Any insight about the different "41 Willys body manufacturers as far a fit, finish, aliginment, chassis strength and body thickness would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked at alot of different companies that produce the '41 Willys Coupe package and I keep coming back to favor "Dennis Taylor" or "Outlaw Performance". I think both produce a good package...trade offs with both. From what I can gather "Outlaw" seems to be a real favorite among builders of these cars because the bodies are so close to paint when you receive it. On the other hand Dennis Taylor seems to offer more on the suspension side as standard equipment on the package, along with a quality body. Not to say you can't have the same thing with the "Outlaw" but at a considerable amount of money more...
Any info would greatly be appreciated as I'm stuck trying to decide which package I want to build.
