    I know of Mastercraft Body Works in Red Oak (south of Dallas) owned by Raymond Chavonetz. They used to make the alloy P4 bodies for Norwood Autocraft. Very skilled craftsman with the English wheel. I believe Raymond's son Erik runs the shop now, but I haven't talked to them in 10 years or so...

    They are still there in Ovilla (near RedOak). Erik runs the place and they still make rolling works of art by hand if needed. I live up the road and stop by when something interisting is parked outside.

    Good to know! I may take the E Type over there and see what they have to say.

    Digman52 set up a tour for us a few years back of a guy in East TX that had barns full of cars. Many of them were custom reproductions including a Ferrari TR built on a 330 chassis. He mentioned somebody down that way that did all his work for him, I wonder if it was them? Need to see if I can find the pictures.

    EDIT: Found the thread, some of the cars you see in the pictures are custom. The TR is.
