Welcome to the site. You chose wisely coming here as there are many very experienced car builders here. I too would advise you to take some time in here and with research outside on your own before choosing your path. That said, knowing what I know now, for glass I would buy Wescotts and for steel I would buy from Brookville. I would also trust Outlaw for a good glass body.

I have a coremat vinylester resin body that is thick, light, and strong and inexpensive; and that has/will take me many many more hours to finish out etc. I have gaps in the doors and trunk lid that (as Bob once said) you could run a herd of cats through

I am extremely pleased with my Cornhusker Rod and Custom frame and Heidts suspension componentry though the afore mentioned frames I hear are good as well.

Regards, Kitz
