Hi Guys
I have been collecting Speedster parts for many years and was planning on building a 'coupster', but I have changed direction so all my parts need to go.
They are listed in the 'parts for sale' section and would be a great starting point for someone who is thinking of a conversion.
Regards
Drew

Hey Drew,

After watching for years the amount of work Justin Rio had to do on producing a coupster on his ABCGT site I was so surprised, at the amount of effort and time it took him to produce such a lovely speedster shape. With 3 projects on the run you would be years and years.. doing them all let alone driving them if you attempted that coupster too.

But.. worth while advising ABCGT as well on the parts??

Keep smiling

Roy

Hi Roy
Like you I have watched Justin over the years create that classic speedster shape and to be honest it hasn't put me off.
Yes I have too many projects but the thought of cutting up that beautiful 58 coupe has always spooked me.
The new direction will involve a herculean effort and combining a whole host of parts from here in the UK and the U.S.
BUT it will result in an authentic car not a 'coupster'.
I wish I could go into details here but until all the deals are done I need to keep the details vague.
Keep in touch.
Drew
