Street Beasts are a vague replica of a 33-34 Ford. I have seen many that are nice but others are crap. It's true that if you break something like a fender, it is basically a repair job. You can't go to Wescott's and buy a replacement - it will not fit. The grille and shell are not actual replicas and are unique as well. And quite frankly, mant people ignore them at shows as it's "only a Street Beast POS" regardless of the fact as much time, effort and money have been spent. And yes, when you research the company, you will find lots of financial and legal problems past and pending

But saying that, like all street rods, they are an expression of the owner - and if you like it, don't mind some aches and pains, and criticism, can afford it both in purchase price and eventual selling price, go for it if it is your thing.
