New to speedsters

Hi, I am in San Diego and new to Speedsters, just purchased a 58 Speedster replica. It needs some work, cosmetic wise and any advice on where to get parts, trim pieces, tops, carpet etc. would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

Hello John,

Do you know which manufacturer your car is? Anyways Kirk at Vintage Speedsters can help you with all your needs at reasonable prices. He is a very nice guy.

Well you have discovered the primary source of information, this site.
I got interested in a speedster last may and my search has been comprised of this site, the internet, Kirk at Vintage Speedsters and the telephone or course.
With these pieces I compiled a 3 inch thick folder of information that can tell you almost everything you want to know, from how likely it is that my engine will catch on fire, to what kind of switch is best.
It's actually a lot of fun to pursue speedster knowledge, I can discuss suppliers, builders, pieces, and manufacturer, domestic and in Europe and New Zealand.
The owners are always helpful and eager to share information also.
Study all the photos posted here they are a fantastic source of details and ideas.
You are on the right track good luck and enjoy the adventure.
