Eric / Andy and group,
my understanding is that VAT would not be levied on goods directly
exported, you may however have to pay import duty into the US and any
applicable local taxes. (I guess a fender wrapped up in the post would
be hard to describe as a tax free 'parts catalogue' 8-)
I too have used panels, from Chris at Classic Car Developments, as a
preference to good effect. I believe he started with a high quality
Alpine shell as a pattern and had the tin bashers pull it appart to use
as patterns - a brave investment !
Full panels and repair sections are available which cover that areas
which tend to rust the most in the UK, this means fenders, fender repair
sections, rockers, floors and generally anything that is within a foot
of the good old salt they put on the roads (especially in Scotland
Andy!). As we all know from the posting last year, that dihydrogen
monoxide stuff is bad enough, but when mixed with salt its terrible.
I suggest anyone who is interested should contact Chris Draycott and
make up their own mind on the price quality issue.
The number from the US is +44 1332 850 856 this is also the fax number

PS - for those who didin't see the posting, Dihydrogen Monoxide is H2O
or good old water!
