>> 45" Performance parts suppliers



Gathered here is a chart to help you get those WR - WLDR - WL racing parts. We did this because we know of many people building individual racing parts, but no one offering a complete "45 racing catalog". Below is a list of contacts and the parts they are manufacturing or planning to manufacture in the near future. Each part is described by a state of availability which is either "available", "prototype" or "project" depending on how advanced these parts are. We give a pic when we have one. This chart is also there for you to encourage those still in the "Project" or "Prototype" phases so that their parts go through testing and production to become available for all of us!

Please note: We do not give prices here, nor do we take orders. We are NOT affiliated with any of these suppliers nor have we tested all of these products. You should contact the sellers/manufacturers directly for info and orders. All we are trying to do is help racers out by giving good connections.

Don't forget to tell'em the Beauty of Speed sent 'ya!
