While all of this may be true, I just talked to Jim Grimes (no longer at
at Courtesy Nissan, BTW) and he said to call Steve Richardson at
Courtesy. Steve's the Parts Manager and used to have a Roadster. Jim said
that before he left he ordered as much (Roadster and other) stuff as he
could get. Unfortunately Trophy Nissan where Jim's at now won't discount
so Jim said to contact Steve for bits the specialty vendors may not have.
He mentioned roadster fenders and some 510 body panels, too. Be sure to
let him know you're on one of the lists if you don't know him already.
FWIW, Ron
