Reply to "Speedster project wanted"

Chris - I don't feel any apology is required.  You offer items not available in any other markets - you just don't see new "naked" speedster bodies for sale much nor the other hidden pieces you have available.  Other vendors seem to only offer rollers vs the basic kits.

As DrClock has pointed out in the past, the cost of Speedster parts has greatly increased over last few years - so the more vendors providing parts the better.  Some vendors even commission making higher quality replacement parts as the quality of some (often Chinese) parts is dismal (i.e. Beck having new electronic 356 replica VDO gauges produced - at near the same price as prior "IFFY" Chinese Tachs and Speedos).  I recall how much better the chrome Brazilian Mangel rims were over the later Chinese versions - breath on the new ones and they rust.

A case can surely be made for buying new parts vs resurrecting a 30 year old CMC home built derelict.  Having to undo and redo past work is costly (especially if hidden and not expected).
