    UPDATE: ok this is a go i am putting these in a run as of today 6/29/12. it will come as a full fender kit (both fenders) which includes the UFO washers (looks like one huh? lol) and Stainless Steel Socket Bolts it will be $47.50 plus shipping. i will offer other kits but for now this is a start.

    wanted to know if there might be anyone interested in something like this.

    i have been doing these for the GTO and G8 Market and the interest has been high.

    however i wanted to cut something a tad different for the older ford cars. one being Mavericks first obviously. lol! but these will also fit 65-68 mustangs as well and probably most other pre 77 fords i would think.

    washers will run about $4.00 each. i will probably make them in kits along with the bolts for fenders first but haven't gotten that far yet.

    think you guys might be interested?

    Neat idea, I would probably get a set but would rather have them in black.

    i understand why. actually they look better that way. just as an alone washer to me they look ok. but actually on the car and as a whole... they look really nice.

    here is a bit further away photo without making them to small to see.

    they are made for socket button heads.

    if i do this i will do it as a set for sure. i would use a stainless bolt as part of the kit as shown here in the photo.

    just so you guys know you can put these in other places as well and get carried away with it. lol! also anyone who does get these i could really use your help on spreading the word out to other ford guys. ;)

    i also have this done as well.

    billet hood bump stops. thoughts?


    i will be doing them power coated in black. that would be a little bit more but not much.

    haa haa.. and you don't think i thought of that.

    here are the issues polishing will end up costing more but i can do it. chrome too much! these are made here in the US. maybe if done overseas i could. but have priced chroming these days? the chroming on these would cost as much as the part. lol! no joke! but looks like i have enough interest to make the min run on these so i will move forward on them.

    the kit would come with enough for both fenders. the stainless socket bolts will be included. total would be $47.50 plus shipping which i would charge straight up USPS cost on it no handling charge.
