fiberfab 57 356 porshe speedster for sale

is it a widebody?

Why don't you post a couple of pictures here?

Could you please post a couple of pictures here for everyone to see!

Here is a picture of his car. I am not affiliated, he just sent me a pic in case I might be interested.

OK from that pic, looks like the car has not been painted. It's gelcoat and that the beam is a new 2" shortened beam. Anyone???

Is that one of those kit cars?

And....a whole lot of fabricating too, ask me why I know this to be so

Okay, Alan. I'll ask.

Why?

"fabricating?" Its definately not a Revelle plastic model kit. Lots of cutting/grinding to do but to do stock build (per instruction book) only normal home garage tools are needed (other than for the shortening of the chassis and the axel height adjuster - if used.)

Their original CMC advertising states "Forty Hours To Build" A less than truthful statement ..More than 50% of the old CMC kit's components needs to be upgraded to make the car safe and reliable. Rear body section has four pop rivets on either side that is suppose to secure the entire rear section. Yet to see a set of doors that fit corectly with out a lot of man hours making them close correctly and have a flush fit....the list goes on.

Then we have the new and improved...
"Drum Roll Please" ...........Street Beasts Speedster with their own special box frame. Same company with same henchmen at the helm ...usual shorted kit components that took this cars ( Al S.) owner many phone calls and letter or two to make then see the light and ship what is suppose to be in a speedster kit.

Nothing, absolutely nothing fits any of their jig fabricated mounts or predrilled holes. A donor VW Beetle pedal assembly should, bolt up to the chassis, I now have 4 plus hours in refabrication the pedal mounting point and pedal stops to make it function correctly. Axle beam didn;t fit the ir factory frame head mounting cups add another three hours die grinding to correct this fault. Bolting a steering damper from the axle beam mount to the tie rod should not have to include 1 1/2 hours of cutting, fabricating and rewelding the top section of a axle beam vertical support for clearance. ok I feel better now:)

I split this thread and created a new one, mainly because the topic had changed to one that is not only interesting, but will certainly spawn more comments.
