Frequently Asked Questions
Q   Hey Tom, can I buy a complete car or do you only make bodies?
Since I'm in the business of making dreams come true, I can supply
you with a body to fit your frame, I can supply you with a frame and
you can assemble the package yourself, or you can have a new
complete automobile with all the bells and whistles.
Q   Tom, what about Model A's? 
I like T's and A's, so I can make whatever you want.
Q   Tom, what about Chevys? 
If you really want a Chevy body, I can do that too.
Q   How long have you been making Model T's?
Longer than Henry Ford.
Q   Where are you located and how are the bodies shipped?
The shop is in Madison Heights, Michigan. The mode of shipping
depends on what the customer orders. If the product is within 1,000
miles of the Rouge Plant, we use a fantastic delivery company
called Sunjam Transport. They take care of the bodies as if they
were delivering a baby, which they are, in a certain sense. And
they charge much less than standard carriers which would be the
method used for bodies shipped further than 1,000 miles from
Michigan. Of course, the customer can also pick up.
Q   Do you have a price list?
No, because every order is different. Some folks want fancy paint,
others want no paint at all, preferring to do it themselves. Some
folks want to assemble the car, others want to stick in the key and
drive away.
Q   C'mon Tom, I need more than that to go on. Got any ballpark figures?
These are rough and you can't quote me on them, but here you go:
A bare body (no paint) is roughly $800.00 to $2,300. Upholstery
varies (leather or cloth, fancy or not) but a two-seat buttoned leather
with piping is about $400.  Again, these are not quotes because of all
the variables involved in custom work.  For more definitive answers
please contact me.
Q   Ok, so how do I contact you?
I would advise against using a psychic hotline. Instead, please call me
at 248-227-1008 or send an
e-mail with your questions and I'll answer
as soon as possible.
