The 7” Channeled Basic Body Package features a 7” chopped/filled roof, with either a fixed or functional windshield opening and a cowl access door. The firewall is built in while it is being constructed and offers a recessed area for rear mounting distributors. The decklid is functional and adjustable hinges and hardware are furnished for installation. The doors are hung using stock type exposed hinges . They are also flush fit unlike “Henry’s” overlap design. Manual window packages are also included, they offer a great cost alternative to power windows and are easy to assemble and install by the builder. The body comes with an installed fiberglass inner structure which also gives you, the builder, attaching points for the upholstery. The dash is a smooth/filled style and comes with an dash bar and hardware for installation. This package is the basic building block for those builders that want to build an “Old School” Hot Rod.

STANDARD FEATURES:

Bonded Double Wall Construction: With use of a fiberglass inner structure system, the multiple panels are bonded in place to fully reinforce the body. Because the panels are constructed of fiberglass, they will bond to the exterior shell to create a finished interior. They also give easy attaching points for the upholstery. Some customers even drive the car with only our inner structure in place.

Handlay Construction: We utilize handlay construction on all exterior parts to help control the resin to mat ratio and make more of the inconsistencies limited. ISO Blended Resins: We use the highest quality materials available to us to help produce fiberglass parts that will stand the high surface temps and stresses that a street rod body will see.

Removable Glass Units: These units are put in the fiberglass bodies where applicable. They make it possible to quickly remove the glass and hardware to allow for painting as well as adding additional components such as door poppers, glass sweepers, etc...

Superior Door Bonding Design: This door design ensures that the doors are not just bonded on the outer perimeter edge but are also bonded in the middle and along the area around the door glass.
CAD/CNC Machined/Sheet Metal Parts: With the use of computer-aided design parts compatibility is ensured.

Construction Versatility: Some of our optional features allow the use of some of “Henry’s” cool ideas such as functional windshield, cowls and rumble lids. We can also adjust the firewall during construction to accommodate some of the larger engines that are currently being used.

Smooth Gelcoat Finish: Because of mold maintence the bodies have a high gloss finish with straight panels and small seams.

Ribbed Floor: The floor is ribbed for those customers that want the underside to look as nice as the topside.

Defroster Plenum: This feature is use where applicable so our customers in certain climates can have the convenience of a nicely defrosted windshield.

Overhead Console: To help conceal the wiper motor assemblies and allow for easy overhead radio installation.

Doors Hung and Latched: Russ Nomore Streetrods does not sell bodies un-assemblied. All of the doors and decklids are glued in precision Gluing Fixtures to guarantee fit time after time.

Decklid Hung: The decklids are hung during construction to make sure the fit is just right.

Decklid Prop: This feature allows your decklid to lock open when lifted.

Smooth Dash: The dash is smooth and filled, as well as, removable for easy gauge installation as well as access to cowl area.
Steel Dash Bar: A steel dash bar is provided for easily attaching the steering column and other components. It is also integrated into the body as a constructional component.

Steel Reinforcement: Where applicable, steel is integrated into the body to help reinforce such things as suicide doors, decklid hinges, cowl vent packages, etc... Steel is also embedded into the fiberglass parts for hinge placement.

Customer Support: We provide customer support before, during and after the sale. We are always available by phone or email to help anyway possible.
