Harry -
Body rotators are made by several manufacturers. Check out "Supplies,
Tools, Trailers, Misc. for sale" in Hemmings Motor News. The body shell
for my '65 pull-handle B is currently hanging from a winch I suspended from
my shop ceiling joists - awaiting a few remaining bottomside welds. (Not
advised unless your winch set-up is very substantial - but it is amazing
how light a shell is once EVERYTHING has been removed.) No experience with
Heritage shells - but I've enjoyed learning to weld and repairing my shell
- since Fall '95 (I have little time to spend on this). Don't overlook
the satisfaction of doing this yourself.
