More for the beware list is Street Beast. Along with anything sold cheap with no internal structure, like you sometimes see on ebay.

Top of the chart for good 33/4 would be Outlaw, followed by Poliform. Wescott would be there but he doesn't make one unless you're looking for a roadster.

Then if you want a 33 3 window in Aluminum, and can wait til mid next year or so, SAR should have theirs ready by then. Prototype is due in about 5 months.

Here is a site that has a listing of mfgs.

I built the 34 using the www.rodzshop.com

The guys are right about the need to buy a good quality body from someone like Wescott. It's one thing to buy a cheap T bucket body (like I did) but another entirely to buy something like a '34 body. There is so much more that has to be right on a more complicated body like the '34..........door fit, window openings, vents, substructure, etc.

Any money you save up front will be put back two-fold at the end when you prep it for paint or try to get things to fit and work. Spend a few bucks more up front and you will have much lower blood pressure in the end.
