Not a bad idea, actually. Thanks for sending the link, and we are aware of this place but just dreamers at the moment. Personally, it would by my own dream (or for retirement) to be able to design and shape body sheet metal like this, and create a few of my own cars and designs from scratch like this. As for my friend, if we could source the slabside glass bodies for him from someone like Mr. Bruce (for example), my buddy is possibly interested in offering the rest of the car to some customers if he has to keep upgrading these JCF cars. At this rate, he could just build his own and he pretty much is minus the body. I'm not serious about it yet by any means at this stage of life, but sort of interested in helping a friend a bit on ideas for investigating it further since he does this type stuff for business and I just do this type idea/design/build stuff as a side-hobby, time permitting; and time is short these days - argh.
