I called Bob recently to inquire about a steel LAT hood. He told me is so
many words that I did not have enough money for him to make me one.
I recently replaced my front valance with a VB unit. It was a good fit.

KEnt, I spoke to Bob Martel about five years ago when he was moving away
from the Sunbeam fabrication efforts. HE was selling some things he still
had already made but was not doing any more. It was Bob that told me that
Victoria British had a good supplier for body panels from ENgland and the
fit was good. LArry Paulick later confirmed this and I bought ten body
panels for my car; front and back of each wheel well and the outer rocker
panels. THe inner rocker panels were fabricated by my body, paint man. THe
fit was good and my car turned out without any evidence of patch panels. At
the time, neither Rick not Curt could fill the order. RObin Young
