Most folks that have a relatively rust free body are not going to take it apart and most that are rusty on the sides are gone on the bottom so you may have no choice but to use the reproduction ones. I've purchased them for a 28/29 project and they are good reproduction but they have no holes drilled. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It just requires all the stuff to be fit up before drilling the holes. If the front cowl lower braces are good then at least there is a guide for drilling in a few places. The rest will fall in with fitting of the floor parts, rear quarter panel parts, and the doors. Any hole that is mis-drilled can be welded up for a better start over result.
