Downs Industries Exits Street Rod Business

Sadly, after 20+ years of building fiberglass street rod bodies, Michigan based Downs Industries is heading in a new direction. They had built some of the highest quality bodies in the industry, and in recent years, started producing other non street rod bodies, such as the 67 Vette and 69 Camaro. I had actually hoped to one day build their 67 Corvette, as it would be somewhat more affordable than the real thing.  Hopefully another reputable company picks up their molds and continues their high quality tradition. Their street rod body business is for sale, according to the press lease below.
