Basically means hand built. Usually a hand built body on a factory built frame.

It had 20 some seams. I used 4 gallons of plastic filler. Most of it landed on the floor. I coated every square inch.
You can buy these all day long and register your VIN with the state. I'm sure there are some specifics like the amount of numbers. I forget this one's but it had 427 in it.

Ya in Manitoba there is a way to generate a new serial number. Have a restored model A ford. #s used was from the engine, but the engine is a 29 the car is a 30, and everything else is from whatever. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. LolYou can buy these all day long and register your VIN with the state. I'm sure there are some specifics like the amount of numbers.

Not happening, she’s a sweet ride as is. Take her to local card shows, go for a picnic lunch down by the river once in awhile. Once my woman and I dressed as Bonnie and Clyde for the car show, plastic machine guns and all
Just a fun toy to have around.

quick question Bodyperson.... how many coats would you say you applied on this and would you remember what hue of red this would be
Morning guys. Looks like I'm going shopping today I ran out of everything. 
It's called Tornado Red. It's a VW color. 3 coats of base coat and 3 coats of clear. Color sanded then polished.
Yup those are fiberglass bodies. There is an outfit in Salt Lake city who reproduces them also. Kirkham Motorsports they are aluminum. The bodies come from Poland. It's an interesting story of how they came to be. You can get them unpainted and the raw aluminum is flawless. I've seen one. You can not see a single seam. Those Polok's got it figured out. They get their experience from making jet fighters for Russia.

Just watching you boob, these guys are bragging how original their cars are, factory paint etc. etc. The other day I dug everything out of the trunk of the Dart, floor mat, spare tire, Jack and realized that the Jack, wheel wrench and spare tire have only been used once. The tire is still holding air so I guess you could say my car has factory air lol
You do great work Charlie . Not many body guys can do that nice of a job.
You bought that new if I remember right. Never sell it....
I remember at one time it was even Steven many years ago
That's exactly what I did this afternoon.Morning guys. Looks like I'm going shopping today I ran out of everything.
Gorgeous day!!
