    There are some very nice things you can do with these cars. I thought about getting one myself, but I doubt my skills when it comes to doing a two door/top chop and God knows what all else it takes to make one look how it should!

    Ah but James, you guys have the ''home court advantage'':D
    The last buildable Vedette I found for sale, would run me more money than a buildable '49-'51 Mercury coupe by the time I'd payed off the U.S. customs broker, shipper, taxes & fees:(
    If I were to build one, I couldn't deside whether to clone the Hirohata or the first Ayala chopped two-door coupe in 3/4 scale?

    Yèah .. That s why shipping any part is so expensive :p
    There s been exported Vette in States ??

    I thought a lot about shipping and had an idea .. The only way is "free shippîng for more than the 48 lower states.
    Believe and trust on it , no matters , we go for a global word. So WE need a global way to move parts :p

    L est canon ta niece :p

    This is interesting Edsel.

    Which way ?
    Many guys in Europe want to have a car from States. I m quite sure any information you could provide would be really useful.

    For my own myself, I can t say :p I m a french guy living in Canada :p Desperately trying to find a mix , and have others being in peace with 1 or 2 differrents cultures. Or more :p


    Artman, je le taquine pas pire le grand breton :p

    L es belle la niece.
