So...anyone with some skill can either turn the body into a rustproof streetable car or into a light weight hot rod. This is a big deal for HJ lovers...up until now, the best one could do was a fiberglass front end.
The price isn't cheap, but try restoring a Henry J today and you'll spend a serious chunk of change. I know, I'm well on my way!
Several years ago, a fellow produced a few Tucker repro fiberglass bodies. I looked over a completed car and aside from the obvious and the Cadillac Northstar engine, it was very convincing. The turn key price was about $100K...far less than the real thing.
