Mike DeJonge from Restoration Design just announced that he's getting ready to produce ALL the body panels as a package to build a 'new' Speedster from scratch.

In his words: " We have already started building the chassis components, and hope to be done with the chassis by end of 2018. We will then start on the outer body components, of which we already have a few of. All components will be exchangeable and will fit a real car. All components will be real steel. Consider buying a real steel car instead of fibreglass or plastic. We plan to make all parts interchangeable
You can retire your real speedster and preserve it, and you will be able to take all your parts and put them on the "tub" we are going to build. Price point will be about $30,000 usd, give or take. That's what we are aiming for."

£30k for full steel nod and chassis doesn’t seem bad

All well and good, but surely “Q” plate territory here in the U.K, unless you’re re-shelling an original speedster which let’s face it is highly unlikely.

Thats great News!!
I have bought some original Speedster parts to use in a project as I cant afford a real one and does not want one in plastic...
I also bought a '58 body to use as a donor but could not cut it up, it was too good... (Even if it is bad...)
So looking for another 356A donor..
