I've seen Wheeler Dealer episodes where small UK engineering companies have bought up the old tooling, and knock out replacement parts for classics and not-so-classics. Shells and body parts included.
Given the age of some of the posters, some of them might not leave the forum as such, but leave this mortal plane.
Which they're hardly likely to announce on here, post mortem.
Why would anyone take the project staff at their word, and discount those of anyone who read their results and offered a differing opinion?
Why are you afraid of peer review?
