Never in my life would I have thought it would come to this

dana67dart, Im about to narrow an original A body housing because the pricing for a c body has gotten to be the same price as an A body is in my area. My thought pattern now is to narrow the A body and if I need to go back to a stock A body length I can then narrow a C body and pay whatever I have to at that time. I may never need the A body length again. I ask a "friend" here in Pa that has probably 6 or more c body housings and he wants $200 for one. I cant see spending that when I have a housing that I can make work. When I told him I'll cut mine first he said dont do it. These guys, "in my opinion" just dont understand that parts are getting harder to find because they are leaving no choice to someone like me to cut or alter parts to keep the hobby affordable for ourselves.
Just my opinion and I dont fault anyone for what their asking prices are.
