I'm with Bob on this one. No place else is it more true then in Fiberglass bodies that you get what you pay for!!!! IMO they are well worth the extra bucks. There are a number of guys on this forum that can tell horror stories about cheap glass bodies. Also, take a look at the Wescott site, the body has a steel cage built internally throughout the car. My favorite example is a car I built the chassis for in 1986..... It's a Wescott body, gets driven about 3 to 5 thousand miles a season, and is still as nice as the day it came out of Craig Matson's paint booth, not withstanding a rock chip or two.....

If you can do all of your own body work and consider your time to be worth nothing at all, then you can save money going with a cheapie, but when all is said and done, you still have a cheapie.... Some of the other higher end bodies are getting close to Wescott's quality, but I haven't seen one that is quite there yet..... Also at resale time, when you say it's a Wescott body, questions about quality and who built it are over.....
