Thread: metal kit body?

Tweet

HI Guys (gals too, if you're reading). I'm old, but new to CHR. I have a perfectly good '30 "A" that I could build a street rod with, but, well, I just love the look of the '32, especially the 3-window, with stock roof. It appears that Ravon is out of business (selling their molds on ebay), so I'm trying to find out if there's anyone other than Wescott and Gibbon out there, producing a '32 Ford 3-window coupe with STOCK ROOF height. I'm just having a rough time justifying the prices they charge. HELP PLEASE!, This is a great forum. Thanks to all of you for contributing.

Take a look at Brookville Roadsters new '32 coupe. It is amazing, and not bad pricewise, when you see what rusty originals are fetching.

Saw one at Daytona last November, and seriously considered taking out a 2nd mortgage. It was like $ 25,000.00, but really NICE.

Randy, if you'd ever built one you wouldn't have that rough a time. BTW, Gibbon is not in business anymore (thankfully, do a search of this site and you'll understand why). The quality difference of a Wescott is well worth it's price. It's a "pay me now, pay me later thing". That being said, I believe Redneck does a stock roof body. http://www.redneckstreetrods.com/1932.html They also have a good name as far as I've heard.

Thanks Bob. My error. I meant to say Redneck. And yes, I've read nothing but good about their bodies. Thanks for the heads-up about Gibbon though. Too bad, as I remember from years ago that their fenders, at least, were really good. Someone is doing business under their name, however. Hum? Anyway, I think you guys are right about the extra expense. I've gotta think of this as an investment. After all, that's a big reason why I want to build a
'32 instead of a '30. Thanks again
