You may be right about the availability of the pieces. I wasn't aware that Doug Duell's car was a pieced together car. Either way, his is the only one I am aware of and there doesn't seem to be any others out there. There must be a reason why people aren't following that path.
I know the reason I am not and it has to do with money. I had posted earlier that the price of the car is not the only expense. The corresponding spare parts and other items that go along with that type of change can be about as much.
Not all of us have unlimited budgets and not all of us can afford new parts. Most of my stuff is either used or discarded pieces that I have had to scrape together and resurrect with a lot of sweat equity. Granted, I enjoy that and take a great deal of satisfaction in making something work that someone else gave up on.
Situations like this one is taking a lot of wind out of my sails.
