Street Beast fiberglass body any good?

I may have found a 41 Willys Street Beast body in my price range and I dont know anyone that has used one of there bodys. I dont want to find out after I buy it that its crap. Please let me know what you know about them.
Thanks

 

you may want to google them,

 

Know nothing about the Willys but the 33/34 Ford bodies are not dimensionally correct as 33-34 Fords. Similar would be a better description. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Quality and customer service has been up and down in opinion all over the net.

 

I have been to there site and readd there paperwork. I want a real world opinion.
Are there weak spots does it fit and finish nice etc.......

 

Real World opinion??
RUN FAR AWAY!!

No no no no no. Those bodies are disgusting. I can't believe that place is still in business.

 

There are to hot rods what Taco Bell is to Mexican food.

 

As fast as ya can run!!

 

x2 a little research will probably save you some grief.

 

Don't even think of buying one, even used for almost nothing they aren't worth the effort to build. The company gives scumbags a bad name. Read more here:

Awesome!

 

well a few years ago some poor dope bought one and after about 500 hours of cutting re jelin and blockin he had a real straight turd not my idea of a hot rod, but for a few hundred I,woul take a chance if you a glass guy just my 2 cents

 

you could use the body for yard art,, that will never rust away...as a constant reminder of what you should not waste your money on.

 

ha ha! Some folks prefer Taco Bell. Just not anyone I know....other than 6 year old kids.

just sayin.

 

Come on Nads,,,,Taco Bell is worlds better and closer to Mexican food than Steet Beast anything! HRP

 

Beasts have always looked like a ful size car built by a model company. Something is not quite right and it is not correct in details.

 

Your first instinct was right - crap!

 

Well if its a smokin deal, hell yeah buy it, and use it as a door stop! One of the worst pieces of shit to hit hot rodding!

 

Yep, I was going to direct you to hotrodders.com for you to see what they have to say...

They're currently being sued by StreetYeasts...

 

I bought and started to build a 41 willys street beast the body looked good but after starting to assemble it the fit was terrible and NOTHING fit like it should. I realize that it is not going to be perfect but close would have been nice. The frame that I bought with mine was pretty nice but very heavy. I sold mine before it was complited because the fit and finish was so bad. If I had it to do over again I would look elsewhere.

 

Was two other companies before Street Beast, will end up being sold at Walmart -Ha. Very sub par quality IMO... My boss had 33 3 window, rode, drove terrible. Bad body fitment, ugly frame, looked low end and homebuilt.

For Willy's bodies look at Outlaw and Dennis Taylor, get the nod from me.

 

After reading the links posted by vintagehotrods(great links) I would not even think about buying from The Strangebeast or somEthing like that..............YG....RUN AS FAR AWAY FROM THEM AS YOU CAN.

 

Garbage that was being made by crooks, who were ripping off customers!

 

Junk!!!!!!!! Even when assembled by professional builders they look cheap, out of proportion, and just not right. Run as fast as you can from it.

 

Street Beasts are not Traditional Hot Rods.

So they are not Relevant or On Topic for the HAMB.
