    Sounds like my buddy Walter in Manitoba. We used to live in the same weenie town.

    Here's a shot of another of his fabricated B-400's from a car show a couple of weeks back.

    Yes, I think this has to be at least 4 of them that he's done.

    The shop I worked for built a glass B-400 in 1989 but damned if I can remember the body manufacturer.

  9. I stand corrected. Looks like they were done in 'glass & maybe even done by a few different manufacturers.

    I guess someone monkey'd up a 32 into a 33. Wish I had taken a picture, but it was 20 years ago.

    Seen this glass B-400 at Finks when we were in town for the 75th '32 Ford GNRS. They said the body was made in England, about $7000, if I remember correctly.

    Still waiting on more pictures.


    The details on this car are sick. Really nice car. The already posted picures are nice but don't do the car justice. It's that nice.

    Let's all pray that the guy working on this car doesn't scratch it. :)

  27. Danny,

    The new definition of "fit and finish". Are all of the owners cars this well done?
