PS. It would save me A TON of work by buying one of the '57 Chevy 2-door Hardtop bodies. And priced at about $12,000 they aren't too far out of my financial reach. Only $11,995. But think of the work it would save me not just in time, but in dollars as well.
Basically they're providing an official license to produce the replica bodies along with providing the company all the specs with which to do so. Helps consumers know its safe to purchase without worry

Better than the companies who would have to go off of measurements they take of original parts and recreate it. Quarter of an inch off somewhere could mean it doesn't fit

The 67-68-69 Mustangs have been available for a few years now thru Dynacorn. Now they are making the 64-65-66 available. The only involvement from Ford on this project is they gave their blessing and license to build. They also probably get a kickback on everyone that is sold.


Who has a 57 Chevy for 12 grand?
