Matt,

Look up Iceburgh's profile on this site, and you'll see a finished N&N. If I were doing another project, I would look seriously at N&N.

I've had both TCI and P&J chassis. The TCI was fine, but that was years ago - before they really went into mass production. I firmly believe that Jerry and Jason Slover (P&J owners) have better quality control than TCI. Also, remember that the P&J equipment design harkens way back to Pete Chapouris and Jake Jacobsen - the original Pete and Jake.

If you're looking for creature comforts, don't go with a solid front axle. I used IFS on my '30 A-Bone (click on the camera to see it), but I went with a solid axle on my '34. My choice of solid axle didn't have much to do with ride and handling. I just wanted an older style, fenderless, channeled hot rod - not a cruiser. It has too much horsepower, too little room inside and questionable street manners . . . wait . . . that was exactly what I planned on.

Hint. You live in Virginia. Do NOT, repeat, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT consider a body/chassis from the guy who took over Gibbon.
