Absolutely no insult intended, Roy. A thing is worth exactly what the buyer and seller agree it's worth. It seems unsustainable, but what do I know?
I said "pan-based" only because for the entirety of the 22 years I've been in this hobby, cars built on a pan were not valued as highly in the marketplace as those on purpose-built frames. That's changed with the rise of BaT, which I believe was the point of the thread. It's curious to longtime observers, or at least to this one.
The cars Greg is building are of exceptionally high quality, but the cabins and footwells remain narrower than original (and much narrower than Becks in particular). This may be a problem to a buyer, or it may not. The cars are typically titled as VWs - which again, is a benefit to some buyers and a problem for others.
As to the construction of the originals, we'll have to agree to disagree. Originals were definitely not tube-framed, but neither were they pan-based - they were unibody cars.
The last thing I wanted to do was to divide people in any way. I wish you well in your business.
