Hi Volks, I just got off the phone with a sales person from Mid America Motorworks. And the news is not good. I figured I'd try to order the lower inner quarter panel rust repair panels, and the sales person said they are NLA. The part # didn't even appear in their computer system. And that due to licensing restrictions from VWoA MAM would not likely carry ANY Type 3 specific parts. So as RMMW's old stock is sold off, (the selling of the old stock may not happen either, as RMMW had the licenses with VWoA, and they were not transfered to MAM), that will be it. Unless another distributor can pick up where RMMW has left off. Maybe after the intergration of the companies is complete things will be better. But it doesn't sound too good :-( Cheers, John La Francois Blauvelt, NY '67 Beetle (Bubb) Currently under rustoration, by owner '65 Notch S (Nubb) Awaiting rustoration '98 Jettat GL (Wolfgang) Wife's Daily Driver __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
