Speedster rocker panels and thresholds . . . ? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Maybe this would fly better in the classifieds section, not sure because it's more than just a "wanted" request.

Does anyone know where I might buy a pair of outer rockers, door thresholds, and the inner bulkhead section that bolts to the pan?

Essentially the entire piece of fiberglass that forms the rocker panel to pan section?

Do any of the manufacturers sell repair sections like that? Any one (maybe) got a left and right section of body that they want to sell?

Any help?

I'm kind of re-commited to my little Pre-A and want to do it really nice, but aren't committed to originality here, I'd prefer to use as much "Speedster" as possible. The more fiberglass, the less rust in the future, and with this new adhesive that I scored, I have no qualms at all about joining fiberglass to metal and having it remain there forever.

I could really use some help in locating these pieces if anyone has a suggestion, PLEASE lemme know, would you?

Thanks ! !

Tom, Best to contact a "Maker", should be able to get the sections you need, I do recall reading in Kit Car Builder Magazine that KKB owner Jim Youngs getting just a dash section and I believe that came from John Steele / JPS. ~Alan

TC, Jim Anderson might be a good resource.
He's got molds; lives in Florida and is very helpful.
