Classy response. Did you not write to Witcomb? Also now defunct it seems. It's all entropy.

probably got 5 years worth of orders. I thought about it, making a frame and getting it painted costs me almost that much.

Update: while initially I got an order confirmation, one of the staff emailed me today saying that they are low on stock and needed to prioritize the frames they a building, and said they would check at the end of the year if they had any left. Oh well!

Re:Instagram generation comment

I follow along on some car forums as well and there's no shortage of folks getting into things there for the love of the craft and learning to tig weld to build cool shiet for something they love.

So there are clearly people who are interested in building stuff that takes years and years to learn to do properly.

That does not surprise me. It felt like a Covid strategy to boost sales in 'hard times'. Those crafty Yorkshire... tykes lol.

Do you have a link to an article? I didn’t find anything with a quick search and their site still says they’re closing.
