Walt, thanks for reply I was leaning towards a glass body. again open to pro/cons.

Dave,thanks for reply. No I do not want to limit myself to the two cars I mentioned, I just keep finding myself going back to both of them. It appears there are a lot of different bodies on the market and it can get a little confusing, I just want to be sure I find a quality built body/chassis. Of course I do have a budget I would like to work within, but having a restoration back ground I fully understand what can happen when you tally up the final build cost. Fortunately I can do all the work in house. I just figure a roller can save me a lot of time & give a real good baseline do to never building a rod from ground up.
