New here and looking for suggestions on buying a speedster fiberglass body. Having already rebuilt, fabricated, painted ect VWs I have decided to challenge myself with a sportster.

Now I realize this might be opening a can of worms here, but I'm lost at who still makes and sell just bodies. Half the google links are deadends, companies are bought out, moved, temporally on hold. I am planning on a visit to Carlisle unless my Doctor decides he wants to cut me open, another story.

Driving across the country is not a problem.

 Thank You

Since you're in Pennsylvania you may want to contact Carey @chines1 Beck: Special Edition http://www.beckspeedster.com/ and see what he can do for you. He is one of our top builders but the only thing I'm unsure about is whether his body would fit a VW pan. Carey builds his cars with a custom tubular chassis and custom pan. Or you could buy an unfinished roller sans paint and all the trimmings and build away.

Another option is to contact Greg @VSpyder at Vintage Motorcars https://www.vintagemotorcarsinc.com/ . He is another top builder and he is located in California. Greg builds pan based Speedsters and could hook you up as well.

I'm 58 now but this is what I looked like at 24 years old  and yes steroids were involved and some hair dye I believe. Wow, the 80's were a weird time, I can't believe I went on stage wearing that thing LOL.. My wife now calls me the body builder gone bad. You will have to come to Carlisle to see what I look like now.
