Back in the 'kitcar' days,  there were plenty of catalog companies, but i be d---- if i can find them anymore   :-(

:-)   I think fibertech was the only one on that list I don't already have bookmarked, have used, or knew about.  That list represents my exact question though. There are no US companies that continue these days, to cover the full gambit of products like what I lined above. These days US companies seem to specialize in one category. the 'kit' industry is simply gone from what it use to be in the U.S.   Sad.  You don't even see very many of the race car suppliers around any more. There use to be several dozen companies that even supplied for instance, complete chassis kits of un-welded pre-cut tubing to build a variety of racing class, car frames. All but gone. The U.S. has simply lost the appetite to 'D-I-Y'. They just 'want it now' and ' do-it-for-me'  :-(.   It's like Summitracing, being the Walmart of car parts, wiping out the ma and pop shops.  gone are the days of J.C Whitney, and Werthers. Heck even Pegasus and Speedway have massively subsided from just a decade ago.  Long Motors selling out to Moss, etc.  Very disheartening.

I think the last of those are supporting the VW and buggy builders.  

IF Formula Vee were a thing around here, I'd be very tempted.
