[V8Vairs] Parts - Availability

[Steve Goodman]

Hello all:  I don't envy the vendors like David (THE SOURCE).  The costs
involved in getting a shop to make parts for us is a high price and I don't
blame them for not wanting to commit to this without some signal of interest
from customers.

The customer that I had in the shop yesterday is wanting to build another v8
car, he already has the CORVAIR, just wanting the kit.  I told him about
Chuck's kit but he just didn't get that excited about it due to the fact
that it is used and 1500miles away.  I still sent him Chuck's post from last
night about the kit just in case.  I don't know whether it was because it
was used or because of the shipping.

Hopefully the v8 kits can continue to be available, we need to beat the
bushes to get some new interest in buying the parts I guess.  It looks like
Cal won't bother to do any more CROWN parts so it is up to someone else,
might as well be the SOURCE but all of us need to find a way to support
David too.

It may very well be the fact that the WILLS kit is available, the interest
in starting from scratch with the CROWN kit is not as great but it leaves
guys like Paul Strohl in a bind for parts.

Regards, Steve
