Robert,I'm completing Frank's last car a 1970 Midget race car.It just recently transitioned to looking like a car again.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Robert Weeks via SpridgetsDate: Sun, Nov 10, 2019 6:50 PMTo: spridgets at autox.team.net;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] It's been a long timeHi all,I used to be on this list years ago. Haven't done much with my Midget in years other than watch it rust outside because we didn't have a garage and I had other responsibilities and projects. My oldest is 17, he'll be 18 next month, and he loves working on cars. He's taken on my Midget as his project under my guidance.I have a 1970 that I bought off of Frank Carici. It's going to need a lot of work. The kid hopes to have it fixed up in time for his senior prom.I was wondering (without starting a war or hurting any feelings) who the best suppliers are these days. I'm going to be helping him out but neither of us has a lot of money to sink into the car. We're going to go through each system to get it sorted and right, but we're going to need a good deal of parts both mechanical and cosmetic, and we're going to need some body panels. I can weld and paint but this is going to be a pretty big order to get it ready in time and to do it on the cheap. We're not going for concours here. Our inspiration is going to be the cars that Frank would take from junkers to nice looking drivers without breaking the bank or spending years on.I used to be able to go to the local auto parts store and get rebuild calipers, and a lot of other parts but those days seem to be long gone. Can't even find a distributor cap and rotor there these days.Thanks in advance for your suggestions. If we can afford to make this happen I'll do my best to keep you all posted. I'm hoping I can get my kid on the list but he's not big on email ;-)Thanks again,Robert
