Tim Butterworth (in Florida) was selling his speedster project (parting it out) you might try Model T Tom

I know who built this speedster. You couldn't do the same for this price. It had been listed in the Forum but can't find the post.

Hi Tim,
The term speedster can be a pretty broad term.
Are you looking for a Bearcat style, a stripped down style no fenders, boat tail or one designed to look like an old race car. Relatively stock engine & drive train or an over head with an Aux. trans & or a two speed rear end? Just thinking that info may help in your search.
Craig.

Tom, thanks but I really don’t have the time to build one. I’m looking more for a driver. Tim

I would also like one with fenders. I had a couple years ago that had the rootlieb kit on them. I kind of like that look. Thank all of you for the help! Tim

Speedsters are a lot of fun.
