Specialty Autoworks is an assembler of Street Beast kits, which has had many other names (CMC, etc.). From my perspective, SAW does a good job of assembling these and other kits. The comments on kitcar.com is part of a VERY long story that you don't really want to pursue. I believe this goes back to a couple of incidents that purportedly occurred prior to 1998. When you look at the SAW website you will note that he has built over 200 kitcars or specialty cars. One of the most difficult things in re-creating a classic car is finding a good source for a fiberglass body. In general, the rest of the car can be created from this part or that. In the case of the Subaru-based Speedster, Street Beast is the source of the bodies. With regard to the website kitcar.com run by Curt Scott, Curt is a very controversial figure and has many supporters and detractors. He has done a lot of good work in trying to clean up a rather seedy industry. On the other hand, there are those that would suggest that he overstates the case and is reluctant to retract errors. The world just has a lot of gray areas.
