Hi!! from Southen Illinois..
Well my dream of owning a coupe is finally going to come true. Hoping to build it using an N&N body unless something comes along that's cheaper. I would rather build it myself ( with a lot of help from people here) so I can say I did it....I fell in love with them when I was about 13, now at 61 (or 62 by the time I get it) it's finally going to happen. Still have to get healed up from back surgery but I'm going to start collecting a few things. Thanks for having me.....AL

Al,
Welcome to CHR. As far as your roller, you may find something cheaper, but you need to look at the true value, what you get for the dollars spent. I firmly believe that if you look at everything with the same critical eye you will find that N&N provides the best value over anything else out there.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

R spears, I'm sure your right I have spent weeks looking and comparing rollers on the internet and N&N is the best IMO. Plus they are close enough to me I can drive down and look it over before I pay for it. The only way I would go with something else is if I found a roller somebody had given up on and it was a good deal. You drove down there, how many roller frames and body's do they keep on hand ready to be sold.?? AL

Welcome to CHR Al. The searching for parts or projects is half to fun of the build! Good entertainment and something to keep you busy while the back heals up.... My sympathy on the back surgery, been through that a couple times and it's just not any fun at all! Well, the surgery isn't bad, you sleep through that it's the rehab that gets ya!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
