    Looks like the site is trying to die again, so we'll see if this makes it.

    The factory bracing is a definite plus for the Rod Bod. Below is a pic of what Steve's does for the Brookville, extra cost of course. Maybe Rod Bod has upped it's act, it's been about 4 years since I've been around one of their bare bodies. The two that I saw in process of build had bad body lines, especially the left cowl, and the quarters had more waves than a Rose Parade. General fit and finish was pretty poor. Both bodies took mucho hours to make good enough to paint. Brookvilles need some work too, but not nearly as much as those I saw. If they're better now that's a plus for them.

    As for the SoCal guys in PDX, you're not alone in your tale.

    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.
