    OUTLAW is the only way to go for your Willys body.

    Take a look at Antique and Collectable.

    acrods.com

    Mine has no mold seams, excellent finish and fits pretty nice as does their frame. One of the few that does post mold heat curing to finish off the glass cure. Mine is hard as a rock and does not smell of resin.

    My 32 three window is a Heritage unit. It was a total mess but we finally, or should I say the guy that did the bodywork got it right. Both doors de-laminated, it had more waves than a bag of chips and the areas of the gel coat was full of air pockets. It's beautiful now, but I don't know how many weeks it took to get it that way.

    I agree.
    I have two friends that built Outlaws and both had very minor body work done before the paint. Never EVER by a cheap body if you want a nice car. You will pay to make up the difference in quality and believe me it WILL be much more expensive.
    Bite the bullet and go for the best body out there.

    Bill I am only about 25 minutes away if you would like me to snoop a bit and check it out . Not a pro but I do know what I would accept and expect out of fiberglass ( hull of a boat comes to mind ) .
