Default US Body Source

Has any one had any dealings with these guys?
The body looks decent.

looks pricey, way to much glass for a scratch build. you could get a ffr body for that. Patrick (man I've got to go to bed)

In the classified section is a 289 FIA body for sale that would make a great scratch build.

Patrick: I'm still shooting for the kitcarstogo body but i saw this one and it looked pretty stout they say it weighs 350# I'm also gonna give Mr. Bruce a call tomorrow to see what he sells his for they come with a lemans top.

threepeaks: I saw that one 289 and contacted the guy to see if he can get the 427 for the same price...still waiting to hear back. not into the 289's look for some reason...they look kinda wimpy i guess.

fsstnotch: thanks for the lead, i contacted the guy to see if he still had it and to see what brand it was...trying to beat him down a bit on the price too

trying to walk that fine line between quality and cheap at the right price...if its possible.

I have seen the US Body Source bodies in person. They are dead straight - beautiful glass work. The inner body structures are glassed in - like the Everett Morrison kits. Their price jumped a couple of years ago - they were reasonable then, now they are pricey. I wanted one, but then decided that I would rather have a 289 car...

Joey:

The 427 body is the same price. Might even be able to provide a 3002 style body (427 rear section, 427 front fenders, 289 radiator opening with oil cooler opening below the radiator opening.
