    I'm working with a guy that did a lot of billet work for me before, problem is the stuff he did for me before was something the masses wanted. I am wanting to do some billet door sill plates but in order to do so I'm going to have to buy 10 sets. I wa wondering if I could find 9 other people that would be interested. Now they could say "maverick" "grabber" "comet" or "comet gt", or really anything you wanted them to say. The only thing is if you go with one the 4 original names I would ( and I would that you would) want them to have close to the original lettering as possible. Hoping to stay around $80. for a set. Just an idea, let me know what you think.

    How about "Sprint" to throw another stick in your spokes.

    not a problem, mavaholic. I'll be working on getting something to show as fast as I can, probably be about a month, realistically. Just trying to put out a feeler.

    I'm glad to see there is intrest. Like I stated above give me a little time to get him to make a proto type, then I'll have a better idea on the exact cost and what he can do.
    7d1stallion, he doesn't build grills but I had a custom grill made for a truck I've been working on by a company called Stull, www.stullindustries.com it is kind of high but you are talking about a one off piece.
    Atzy1, I probably won't do the 4 door at the beginningbut it could be a future possibilty.

    i also talked with a company about makeing a billet grill... i talked with one guy back in the day and he made it in metal shop so if any of you guys can weld and fab go for it!

    however i spoke wiht another local company here in so cal about making one.. they said they could... however they would need the car down there and th price would be around $250 and up. I just never got around to doing it.

    Hmmm

    Now that people are talking about grilles, I might want one too. That might make three total grilles wanted on this post alone. Will Stull give us a break if three or more were ordered?

    Anyways, I'll be standing by for when the 4-doors sills roll off the presses (sometime in the future, maybe).

    Yours,
    Atzy.
