Likewise, I don't have a ton of experience, this being my first build, but if there is something I don't know, I like looking it up.

Thanks to all. I keep telling people that the South will rise again....
I'm looking forward to the build. I chose to not use a TPerformance frame and body. I had one made by a guy in Dallas. I believe it is based on the Spirit frame. The downside to this is no manual like TP has. I think it will take me a little longer to complete mine, but be a little easier on the budget. He is also making the body and bed. I should be getting that the end of January/February... The good thing is I found this forum and plan to use it.

Hey Paul, I'm still looking for a bargain on a body while I save up for the one from Total. You got any specs and a price for your guy in Dallas? Heck, if it measures out right and the price is good, I could pick it up and the savings on frieght alone would be quite a bit.
Ok lets do this one more time.Make sure the body you want matches the Total dimentions for "BODIES"ON THERE WEB SITE OR MY FRIENDS YOU WILL OWN JUNK!!!! The reason i gave my last body away was because it came from a mold that was over used.Molds do not last forever the reason there out there for sale is there past there prime.But you guys will do what you have to do just remember you also need a windshield for that ride and everyone gets there's from Total.And no you can't buy the blank stock and make your own as Brian will not devulge where they get ittfeverfred said:

Thanks for checking, Paul. Thanks for looking out, Rick. Yea, Totals chassis set up makes using someone elses body a no go, from the looks of it.:sad: No worries, I'm thinking of getting their body with just the floor. My boss emailed me that he has fiberglass supplies and my neighbor has worked with it, so I'll save a little by doing my own interior wood and seat insert. Looks like I may be able to get the body by the first week of March.
We'll see what happens.I ordered an expansion tank and my '28 grill from Speedway this morning. That will give me something to play with next week. I'll post pics when I can.
