[T3] Replacement body panels

["Greg'n'Jenn" <gregandjenn@earthlink.net>]

Hi fellow listee's.  While I was looking through a Hemming's Motor News I
spied a listing for Tabco, Inc (the same Tabco that we were talking about a
few months ago).  Soooo, thinking I might score some rocker replacements
and other stuff I called them up today and kindly enquired if they were
still producing panels for Type 3's.  The kind man on the other end of the
telephone did his best to research them but was very sad to inform me that
Tabco no longer produces replacement panels for our beloved Type 3's.
Kinda bummed me out.  He also checked other catalogs in an attempt to find
another manufacturer of said replacement panels but we had no joy in that
try also.  I do know that California Import Parts in Blaine, Wa is
advertising replacement rocker panels and heater channels that are produced
in europe.  Price is $79.95 per rocker panel and $299.95 for the pair of
heater channels.  Their number is 1.800.313.3811 for orders and 
1.604.434.8300 for the tech line for those who don't have a catalog.
Haven't used them myself but will probably get at least the rocker panels
and maybe the heater channels.  Take care all of you and talk to you soon.
ps - is anyone going to the Springmeet at Puyallup, Wa?
