dangeroustoy (Dave Brisco) is the only one on here I'm aware of who also has a Kilborne (Not anything to do with Heritage Dave [IC]). Hopefully Dave will see this thread and comment for you Joey. He's never voiced any disappointment in it that I'm aware of. The topster folks made some comments about the top attachment area being an "issue" with the Kilbourne but sorry, I don't remember the specifics........perhaps there's some connection, erroneous or otherwise, to the 2" commentary you've seen.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Heard a lot of good thing from several builders about Bear Fiberglas bodies. They make several models of 32's. Have never seen one myself, but I trust the people I have heard from. Have always heard that Westcott and Downs were always top shelf. But frankly I don't know that much about glass cars as all of mine are steel.

Yes, I've talked to Dangeroustoy Dave... he seemed pleased with the quality of the Kilbourne body, as am I... and yes, you are correct, it was the Topster guy who claimed the body was narrower than stock. If thats true at all, its gotta be on the back side, because at the cowl/windshield its identical.

I am lucky enough to work in the car show industry and I go to many many shows. I have seen them all some good some not so good.
When I decided to build a '32 I narrowed it down to 3 Outlaw, Redneck and N&N(HBclasssics.com)
I went with N&N do to strength, build and fit. The other 2 were very very close. Outlaw being the closest but N&N sold me based on the people.you can see more at my web site if you like www.iceburgh66.com

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
