Ok... hopefully this is the right section for this... Has anyone ever worked with their bodies? I came across them on ebay and followed that to their website. Look decent, but pictures never show full story... http://shop.cainshotrods.com/Fibergl***-Car-Bodies_c2.htm
I haven't heard of Cain's Hot Rod bodies, but I particularly don't like that "Contact Us" doesn't list an address or phone number.............only a email form. I usually avoid those vendors................but Cain's Hot Rods may be O.K., I don't know. BTW, I've enjoyed Cain's Ballroom on occasion, with it's spring-loaded dance floor.
Yes their website is not the best... does make ya wonder. I tried searching other fibergl*** makers. I know ive seen a post on them, but cannot find. YES Cains Ballroom is the best!!! Nothin like it when that floor gets to moving!
Gotta agree with Unkledaddy. No phone, address or even what state they are in makes me think they are too low profile.
I'm always su****ious of no contact details when buying online so I did a google ,they are in Fredonia ny 716 6736767 , the bodies actualy look pretty good best I could tell from pics
Their ebay adds have full contact info listed...maybe they do better on ebay than website? Their feedback seems good as well... http://www.ebay.com/itm/121271600956
As stated,He is from Fredonia,NY. He goes to some of the local swap meets.I have looked at his bodies several different times.My experience with fibergl*** bodies only goes as far as a T-bucket from a florida dealer.Cain's bodies look pretty good to Me,and He will sell bodies without wood and without doors hung.if desired.
A friend of mine (former employee) bought a roadster body from them about 8 yrs ago,The cowl was down on the right when we put it on a flat table he cut the body in the front and raised it.As I said that was an early body it may have been corrected since then,as stated above he is in Freedonia, and no problem with any other part of the transaction.
I drive by there from time to time, but have never stopped to take a look. It is a small Rod shop just South of town. VR&C.
I am not familiar with A roadster dashes and cowls, but something looks off here... This is the body I am interested in. http://shop.cainshotrods.com/1929-Ford-Fenderless-Roadster-CH29FA.htm May have to click on that actual picture.
It looks OK to me, but I may be missing something. The wheels, tires and M2 steering need gone IMO. What looks off to you?
My '32 is a Carl Cain body. I blocked it down and my buddy painted it. Check out my build thread in my signature. It is a nice body, not perfect, but very nice. Without a doubt, Outlaw is the best fibergl*** body you can buy. I would say this body is on the line of a Kilbourne or BeBops body but significantly less money. Small shop with little overhead equals less price. Bottom line, I would buy another tomorrow if I wanted another '32. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
