From personal experience I think Speedway Motor's sux..
as does their parts. .
Thanks for the input. I've been looking at things for a couple of years now, and originally looked at Down's '37 Ford. That's a car I still want to do, but I figure in the neighborhood of $14k just for the full body and rolling chassis. Ouch! That's when I looked around more and found Speedway's '27 (although I'm interested in the roadster instead of the T). I was hoping that since they've been around for 50 years, they may have a decent product albeit cheap. I agree -- cheaper isn't always the way to go. And from your experience, I'm pretty dismayed. I'll keep up my research, and go from there. Again, thanks!
