Im tossin around ideas for my next ride project. Either a40 -41 willis or a32 hiboy. I think Dearborn Duece is a good choice for the 32, but I keep hearing conplaints on repro willis roller kits. (im talking good stuff, not street beast crap)! Any advice guys? Thanks.

Here is my take. If anyone expects to buy a body and frame combo and snap it together and add paint...you have been into the fumes too much. If you are doing this as a home project I see no reason to spend X amount of dollars more for a body that is closer to perfect. A production shop where time is money is a different story. Just make sure your purchase is up to par such as installed wood and steel.

im thinking about things like time spent fixing built in night mares, resail value, parts changability . Im sure a little more money up front may make the end result better? ya agree?

For resale purposes it seems people put a higher value on the Outlaw cars, there are other good bodies and chassis. The Buffalo Motor Car looks pretty good also.I think the best bet is to visit with the suppliers at a nationals where you can see first hand the differences that may affect your decision. Whats easy for you may be hard for another, therefore everyones perspective on what is good may vary.
