He is located In Rockledge FL. That's in between Titusville and Cocoa Beach (RonJonsSurfShop) .

He has given me a good quote for our School Project T.

Red Hot Rods - Custom Fabrication Chassis and Frame, Fiberglass body for late model ford classic street rods and collector cars. Willys , A Roadster, Coupe and other manufacturers. 23’ T-bucket 27’ T roadster c-cab pick-up c-cab delivery 28-29’

I am going to go there Monday or Tuesday this week. I will take pictures.
Owners name is Doug. To be fair to him I will not mention the price on the deal.

I can say he has lots of parts that are not listed in the index. Example - Track T nose and smooth hood.

I will probably need help posting pictures.

To bad their website sucks and you cant really see much. But the picture of that 23 T body has a dash that looks like a spirit. Are they spirit dealers ?
 
Here are the exploded pics

Hope these help.
 
Ahhhh.... i gotta take back what I said about the site. He has bigger pictures elsewhere. If any one else goes there, go into the gallery section for the big pics. Not the products page like I did. How dare I think I could see good pics of products on the products page :D

Could be. In the very last pic, that looks like the V8 in the wagon that BC is seen sitting in on their site. I could be wrong though.

Could be...while reading about the Daytona Turkeyrun I read about one manufacturer saying he was going to support one of his Dealers...shoot memory isn't what it used to be it could be how I got in touch with him I will look for mold will I visit. On the frames..since my quote from local supply house seems like a dead end he has offered to sell me what we need. While I might pay a little more per pound so to speak I will not be forced to by full lengths for something I only need 1' or 6'. Lee aka Alfwulf
 
Good eye. I have found that to be a common theme in this industry. Their is a local speed shop who buys a huge amount of his stock from speedway and packages them in his owne packages. Their was another thread here about purchasing a opening door kit from someone other than speed way, You may endup with the speedway door kit repackaged. Hum something to ponder
 
I looked at that site a bit and if you read the "About Us" you will see he says that he doesn't make his own bodies--he's buying them from other sources and building chassis. Lotta shops do that as the setup is pretty costly especially if you're not pulling a body or two a day. I don't think he's trying to mislead anyone.
 
Alfwulf, I have a good friend here in Oviedo, which is on the northeast side of Orlando, that has dealt with Red Hot Rods. He has nothing but good to say about them and, yes, their T bodies come from Spirit. As a matter of fact the top that he purchased from them for his '27 does not fit properly and the owner has said that he would come to Oviedo and help my friend sort the thing out. How many other shops would volunteer to do that?

If you would like to talk some about it, my cell is **(407) 754-4879**

Thanks Jim, our schedules finally come together tommorow afternoon/evening,
He has also offered to help with our Chassis Metal problem also. Talking to him about suspensions he would rather err on the side of caution, Wise Man.

Your always welcome to stop by,I'm just off the beach line by the airport
 
Doug has great customer support, he is a rod builder and is a quality guy. Thats why he is a Spirit dealer. We encourage anyone who is in the east and southeast to buy there Spirit product fron Doug. I will be bringing the trailer down for the Turkey Rod Run in a couple of weeks so if you need anything give Doug a call and I will see if I can dring it with me. His # is 321-412-7334. P.S. we are going to give him some help with his web site.
 
PICTURES! I went there, 100 miles from work, sicker than a dog. Met Doug saw the shop and his Craftsmanship.
I hope by Monday or Tuesday and can confirm Our Schools Spirit Body order from him. His has special intrest in our "Power Plant".

I hope the picture do him justice. I could not include the pic of his completed '32 frame hanging from the ceiling/wall -- art?
