"I ain't got no body" yet but I saved a small amount of stock in an account that somehow did not get converted in my retirement roll over and it's still growing slowly. You and Brian Rupnow are doing amazing things with fabrication of your own steel bodies and I know it will be more satisfying for you to complete your own original than to buy a prefab, but my wife wants something that "looks like a car"! So I just bought a 700R4 to add to a mild SBC350 and a '74 Maverick rear in a Brookville Model-A frame with 4" Magnum dropped axle. It is up on wheels now and it looks like the stock is one of the few that actually grow (slowly) these days so when I get the driveline set up I plan to buy a Bebops fiberglass '29 roadster body, probably next Spring by cashing in that stock. About ten years ago I spent a lot of time on a '40 Ford convertible I tried to make from a rusted convert shell and a tudor without a floor. That was when I realized that I am not a body man so now I just stick to assembling parts I buy on a "part-of-the-month" plan, but I am making slow progress and hope to have the body next Spring.
