Hi i resently got my first real project. a 72' 914 for $200. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) when i got it; it was sanded down from trunk to trunk and primed only the extior. it's pretty solid on the longs but the floors are pretty bad. and the engine room.. it's even missing the battery tray.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) well i am very new at this, and am wondering should i do replacement sheet metal parts, or should craft them?

I thought that a lot of posts here agreed that Restoration Design made really good parts, but getting delivery of the parts was pretty iffy? Maybe somebody can chime in with more updated information. I know that George has done a good job in providing parts (AutoAtlanta), and I thought there were a couple of people in the "Member Vendor" forum that had some metal available. Just make sure you feel comfortable in dealing with the seller before you buy, unless timliness is not a big issue. Eric |
