Any interest in a Steel Speedster tub?

Hi There,
I know there are a lot of fiberglass body owners here - but would anyone be interested in a Steel Speedster Tub if they were created?
Let me know here or offline what you think - rob_loeb@yahoo.com

What price range and would it be galvanized to prevent rust? I doubt you could come anywhere close to producing a decent steel body in very limited number for a price close to what folks would pay. Weight would be another negative. Pound one of aluminum and polish it up and you might have some takers!

British Heritage has been doing this sort of thing for a number of years. They started with a complete MGB body, and have now moved onto another marque I believe. I'm waiting for them to do a Sunbeam Tiger/Alpine, THEN I'll buy in ! ! !

Although the MGB doesn't really bring in much money in restored condition, the bodies have done well as re-bodies for MGBV8's and the like.

Kind of bad timing with metal prices soaring and all. If you can make your price break and it's realistic AND you can get a "name" in the 356 community to endorse the final product, you'll sell some for sure.

BUT . . . the Porsche Boys are the pickiest, snobbiest, mostly nastiest, little runts that you'll every come across in your whole life. Be prepared, it'll have to be PERFECT in every way!

If you could do it perfectly, I think there would be a market. I would stay highend. Considering what people are putting into Corbras and other replicas these should sell.

If I were an exec. at Porsche, I would have done this years ago.

Pound out an aluminum 550 or a 917 and you'd probably be able to sell it easily.
