Saw this steel tub on eBay (as someone who has sold on eBay before and been bothered by tons of bullsh*t questions, I don't really want to bother the seller with frivolous questions since I can't really afford to buy right now).
Can anyone recognize this craftsmanship. Is this an OEM tub, or an aftermarket steel replica. If someone still makes these in steel, who are they?

OK, I think I figured it out. On a hunch I went to the CCOT site and looked at their map (http://store1.yimg.com/I/coolfj40_1680_51186225) and noticed that there is a street "Garland" located near to them (like in the address in the eBay auction ad).
This must be a tub CCOT makes for their restorations (?)

Those panels are made by a company called Vintage Cruisers. Story I heard is that one of the guys who used to work for CCoT went into business for himself, making and selling what are basically CCoT panel copies.

Ahh, thanks for the scoop. It's too bad they aren't a little more reasonably price. I would pay what they are asking for a 3/4 tub if it was a whole tub.
