NO NO NO..... You won't find a nicer person to deal with than Rick. He is just old school and does not do computers.
That web site you found is several years old and somebody else put that up there. Those prices an stuff are not any good. Rick is not sure who put that up for him and does not know how to get it taken down

I really love to see that picture of a car built in the flintstone age, like RPM tells it, they seem to still be very popular..EX JUNK said:

Well, as the saga goes on...
I had to drive out to Youngstown today. On my way back I stopped in Newton Falls at Kennys Rod and Kustom. I saw their t-bucket on ebay, so I decided to take a look. Brian from Kenny's took me around the shop and into their mold room and let me look at the process they go through to make their T-bucket bodies. And, also let me speak to Dan the fiberglass man.
Being someone that wants to see and feel what I am paying for, it was important for me to see and feel the quality of their body. Thoroughly impressed with the care and pride they take into their fiberglass t body I layed the cash on the table and placed my order. Their T-bucket is extended 4" and comes with dash and a reinforced floor. It ran me 750. Although I could have gotten cheaper, being able to be there and talk to them, see their work, and go back in a week with a pickup and grab it instead of dealing with shipping, made all the difference in the world to me.

Rick,
It didn't sink in what you were trying to say to me in your post, till I looked at the picture of the bottom of the body again. It didnt sink in that there were 2 relief cuts for the frame rails. They are 2 3/8" wide and are 24" from center. What I will most likely do is build the side rails and then place them underneath the body and slide the body back to the kickup. Theoretically with the the rails in the relief cuts, all I should have to do is measure the distance between the rails and cut the rear crossmember that way. Of course leaving an extra 1 1/2" at each end to use as caps for my rails.

That mold sure has been around a lot. I went to Hermans and took some pics. I saw the mold he just built and I also the plug body he used. My body was made by Norwoods Fiberglass here in Sevierville, TN about 4 years ago. Before that there was a Tub from Norwoods. They all look like your body from Kenny's. Now I know that Tim Norwood sold that mold to a guy in California. I even contacted the guy to try and buy it back a few years ago. Here is a pic of the tub we built about 5 years ago. I have to wonder who made the first mold like that?
If I was you I would cut all that out of the back of that body. It makes it extremly difficult to put upholstery in it. The new car has had all that cut out.
