Ok , so I am starting a new build and have tons of questions . I have looked over your site and those of other vendors and now have more questions than before I started . I guess the first and most important question would be about the MSO . If I order the body and various bracket and stuff from a vendor does that qualify to get an MSO for the build , or is that only available to the guys ordering the kits ?
I am planning on using the Youngster's frame design and was planning to build it a little wider to make more room for the starter and other accessories because I read on here that it can be difficult to fit everything in the narrow frame rails . But , I see where Cooter and a couple other people had to channel the body on the outside to get it to fit . I don't want to have to do that , just personal preference , I want to be able to only channel the firewall area . So , I am going to need to know the dimension of the body I will be using before deciding on the frame width . I would prefer to not have the body delivered before the frame is built because right now I don't have the room to store it anywhere in the shop .
I am also wondering the cost of shipping the body to me in the Houston area and if it can be shipped to my house or if I need to have it go to a business ? None of the vendors are anywhere near me and I don't have time to drive to them to pickup a body or frame , that's the main reason I am going to build the frame myself instead of buying one already built .
Sorry for all the questions , just trying to get started on the right path before I start welding things together .
