      We searched high and low for a Dynacorn body to start with....everyone sells them but no one has them in stock....waiting list for 6 months to get the car in. Ive been to Brians shop and have seen the cars he has built from scratch on multiple occasions. This car and the money loss has been so detrimental to me that Brian felt he didn't want to fix someone elses roller, or get the dynacorn tweaked to his specs.......and he knows how he wants the doors to shut, how things should hang and how things should fit....and he felt when he builds the car from scratch we wouldn't have to rip someone elses work apart again (not putting anyone else down) but .......its Brian's jigs and Brian's proven way he has done things....... it became either a dynacorn or scratch situation.....we couldn't find the dynacorn without a huge wait...so we went with "scratch"......Brian knows ive been thru absolute hell with this car....and ive been really "gun shy" to start the project again after being taken for well into 6 figures......this project started in late 2008 and here I am 8 years later with nothing to show for it....Brian gave me a "Bro deal" to build this thing from scratch comparable with the Dynacorn and I appreciate that greatly.

      I can understand why you wouldn't want to wait any further. Thanks to a member here I checked out Real Deal Steel Camaro bodies and think I would go this route over Dynacorn.

      Looked through the pictures and man what a shame. My floor pan hack job doesn't look any better but I did it and my car is a hack build any ways. Looks like you have nothing to fear moving forward, the car seems to be in very capable hands.
