Ronald and List-
I, too, bought a bodyshell from TRF and would recomend it without question. My
donor car would have required many dollars of bodywork to get straight.The
shell probably saved me money in the end;however, several fitting problems
were found.
I understand the second run of shells have changed some of the problems
enountered with fitting the shells to the frame.
In any event, I wrote an article in the most recent 6Pack Magazine about the
restoration, with emphasis on the shell and it's problems. If you do not have
access to a copy, let me know and I will forward one to you.
Hope this helps.

I have decided that I am going to go for the new body shell from TRF. Has
anyone ever done this that can tell me what problems I am going to have?
Will I be using the stock body mounts or should I plan on putting new ones
on to match the new body? I have the donor car down to the bare frame and
need to know if I need to have any welding done to it before I get it powder
coated. >>
