The colour of the model T depended on which factory it was built in the blue ones were made in manchester.

Ha! Well said BG -so there! To quote the great Odgie It's not a "hotrod". Hotrods are American. It's a "special". |

Depends if they were the expensive ones or not. Just kampers British made panels come in loads more than the standard ones, but do come in a better fit. |

The only good thing I have to say about the panels made in Odiham is that they are a good thickness of metal, fit is as poor as ever though and I expected better. I guess he gets paid whether they fit or not! But the qtr panels are south American.
Oh and I make sure every car Ive worked on gets a bit of VW in it somewhere, its like my signature!
