Time for a new installment. The following list is not necessarily a true speed secret, but basically a list of materials needed for a newcomer or seasoned pro that was interested in building a Quickie 500. I tried to group materials by supplier, and tried to use as few suppliers as possible. Other than KlassKote, I am not affilliated with any of these suppliers. If anyone has other recommendations or cheaper options, please let me know. I'm still trying to decide on what fuel line to recommend, or to a good source for fiberglass (I bought a 25 yard roll of each years ago, and haven't had to buy any in ages).
