I suspect that there are two sides to this. What reasons did he give? Lowell is not a tightlipped person... I know him pretty well, and another person asking might make a difference, but I'd like to know more before I come to any conclusions. He's got a really strong reputation for being honest and solid. I do know that cars rarely, if ever leave his premises once they are brought in. I think that he has liability issues and does not want to be associated with cars that are on the road - just the components that go on them. Also, there are others out there that have basket cases or even parts cars with good bodies, no? I'm not in the market for a '57, so don't know, but there has to be more than one avenue here.... Another thing to think about is to ask the list to look out for you. 500 pairs of sensitive eyeballs have a way of bringing things to you, and should take way less than a year to produce results. -Kenyon --- PiscesM21@xxxxxxx wrote: > I'd like to comment on one of your vendors, you praised. > I have tried to get a body for my 57 Imperial as Chicago > rust has eaten mine > up, Lowell refuses to sell me a body to transfer my drive > train in.
