Default Dynacorn body quality?

Just wondering if the quality has improved on the 69 conv bodies. Were kicking around some ideas on a new project and was wondering if anyone has used one lately. Thanks!

I was very vocal of the poor quality on the first bodies made in the USA. But I am painting one today and have a different opinion. Panel fitment was as good as if we did it in the shop. Still required some bead welding to make seams perfect, but not any worse then if we replaced the panels.

Labor time is right at 220 hours right now to get it in the paint booth, which is right on par with what it normally takes for a project after sheelmetal we do in the shop.

I was so happy, I became a dealer. i expect to use more of them.

Frank,

Has anything changed with regard to their status as a manufacturer. Meaning, can they issue VIN's so the cars can be titled? I have talked to several people and they are interested, but don't want to skirt the law to get it titled here in PA.

Later,

We painted the Dynacorn body last night, looks as good as any others we do, I will post some pics. The body comes from Dynacorn with a MSO. The MSO and all the receipts for the build will get you a title at the local DMV when it is finished. Basically it is a kit car if you are not using it to replace a rusted body.

SEMA got legislation passed recently that says if it looks like a duck and it quaks, it's a duck. Meaning if you take a Kit Car Cobra, 32 Ford, 69 Camaro, to DMV with all the proper paperwork, you WILL title the car as a 69 Camaro, but the VIN will not be a typical 69 Camaro VIN number. But your title WILL say 1969 Camaro.
