I am going to be ordering my speedster kit in the next month but wanted to check ahead of time if anyone knows any partials or something sitting around that may be for sale, before I pull the trigger.
I have a 73 donar that is going to be ready sooner then I thought.
Thanks
Erik

From whom are you ordering the kit?
Lots of caveats out there...

I have been trying to read a lot and review a lot over the past couple months and after some conversations on here I belive I am narrowed down to VMC or Rafael. One obviously cost more but I hear the quality and small details are worth the cost. the other seems to come more complete with parts and possible less fit-up on the top and windshield. I have looked at others JPS, Intermecancca, Kitman, but deliveries are crazy and or some do not sell a "kit" that I would install on my chassis.
I would be open to hear more and learn more about others, I have till mid/late April before I order.
Intermeccanica no longer makes Speedsters of any kind, and they haven't made them in kit form for quite a few years. Beck makes a wonderful DPABK (Deluxe Pre-Assembled (and painted, and upholstered) Body Kit) that you finish by installing the drivetrain and a few other bits, but it's probably at the top of the market price-wise for non-turnkey cars. Study this site in details for opinions on JPS and Kitman.
In my entirely biased opinion the only ways to go unless can do a lot of fabrication is either Beck or VMC.
Where do you live ?
there are always cars around but shipping a non-runner across the country is $1500-2000

Ohio, shipping is going to cost me either way. I do happen to have a sales person that deals with trucking across country daily so i will pull some favors as well.
