My '74 is being rebuilt by Dave who is a heavy truck fabricator. This is now its second rebuild. The rotten body panels were replaced with flat sheet metal and specialized replacement panels from Guy Loomis at Cameron Fabrications in upstate NY.
I was wondering what to do about one panel which wasn't showing on the English website, so I called Guy. 'Oh! Yeah! That piece was one we build for our German distributor, and just haven't gotten it on the US website. Would you like one?' 'Yes I do, please' 'Right we'll make you one tomorrow or Thursday.'
Guy has the best interests of the M151 hobby at heart. I steer everyone I know who has one towards him. The shipping route was to the UPS store in Ogdensburg, NY where I drove down to take possession. The Canada Customs experience was relatively simple, and much less pricey than a broker or foreign shipping.
