I've bought a lot of '31 Chevy stuff from them...fenders, radiator shells, splash aprons, running boards, frame covers.  Everything was made real well as far as I was concerned....but I'm not an expert in fiberglass.  The surface was smooth and shaped the way it was supposed to be and it fit as good as I expected.  

I did "cheap out" last summer and bought a frame horn cover from Rod N Race for less than Superior's.  I would highly NOT recommend their stuff.  The piece I got was pure junk.

I have one of their bodies, not bad glass, but subframe sucks  the metal is poorly cut & welded. The body was over $5k at that time and since I bought it second hand... I would look into someone else for a complete body. The individual parts are ok I had to buy a new rear fender it was different than the other , I mean one was stock, too narrow, the other was 2" wider, so I decided to cheat and buy a 2" wider rather than splitting the fender and adding 2" Guess what the new 2" wider fender was about 3 or 4" wider than the 2" other fender so... I had to split the 2" wider ferder another 1.5 inches to compensate Sound confusing??? never again

Tom,

I bought a few bits and pieces over the years...my Mullins trailer was bought from them at Louisville - towed it home - no problems, the nose and grille for my track roadster came from them. Nice aluminum casting, polish was ok but I gave it a going over with files, etc to detail it and repolished. The track nose was too wide so I narrowed it, but that wasn't their problem, though. The fiberglass was good.

I've looked at their bodies, but only in passing.

Whatcha buying?

Ive got an american street rod design 32 body and i finished welding some of the bracing and  added gussets cause i didnt like it. I think they are all about the same when it comes to the support structure..
I think they figure its gonna be hidden with the interior so they dont care what it looks like...
