Ford Body company

I was watching a hot rod show the other day (I think Hotrod TV) and I saw a quick segment on a company that made Ford hot rod bodies using old stamping machines. I didnt catch the name of the company. Does anybody know the name of the company or a company that does stuff like this.

Thanks

Joe

Just be careful. Like anything made by man.....some of the reproductions are NOT very accurate. Some try to look original ( for the most part ) and others are way off......



This is a 3W body....and it is way off.....no cowl vent, the roof chopped and filled...no door hinges and MORE......



This one is better.....but still not like the original.



This repro dash is close......but still NOT like the original....

Figure out if that means anything to YOU...it does not matter to some...




BUT IT DOES to some......
