So, 15 years after placing my order for the Beck Speedster sales brochure, I recently placed my order and now have to wait patiently for it to be built.  

I live in Plano, TX (Dallas suburb) and wonder if anyone can give me recommendations on a good local mechanic.  I wrench a little, but am limited.  I've used Bug Stop for my VW vert, but did not have a good experience.  Look forward to anything anyone has to offer.  Cheers.

 Learning the basics is rewarding and as you learn builds personal confidence. Wrenching these cars is like working on an over sized go cart and part of the stewardship a owning speedster.  We've seen people with minimal mechanical knowledge become frustrated owning a car based on 50's and 60's air-cooled technology and bail after a short period of ownership.   This site is a great source of information and at times, a sorta funny guiding light.  Carey at Special Edition will also advise you with great customer support. .........Welcome to the Madness!

Great Experience using Austin V-Dub.  Not that close to Dallas.  So good I had my car transported in from Shiprock, NM to them.  Picked it up and drove back to Albuquerque, NM when they were finished.  Might call them and see who they suggest.  Austin is about 850 ft ASL.  Albuquerque is 5500 ft ASL, so my Webers needed, different jets to run here.  I gave Dempsey(@ Austyin V Dub) a call and he gave me the name of 2 world class Weber /Engine guys, in Abq.  Shamrock had a 911 engine wedged in his VW Bus to hall his race cars.  He got me right back on the road.  Good luck.  IIRC their are several forum guys who live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Area and they should have answers closer to home.
