I don't know Joe since my involement here came about only a year or so ago. But I was thinking the same thing. This is a huge project to take on. I hope it happens, but I am not getting my hopes up yet. Then again I don't need any of these parts for my car either... I do hope it all works out, good luck Joe!
Well Like the Battery Trays that 80% said wouldnt happen,, when they are ready I am sure Craig, Ray, and Dennis will let every one know how nice they are,, and the prices and release date will be posted,, and floor repair will be made alot easier,, The investers in the parts manufacturing meet with Fab twice a day
Sounds like a good deal and I know everyone that has bought the battery trays has spoken very highly of the quality.
How many would you like,? Think of them like Dorito's ( IF ) we run out, We will make more,, Last time I tried to take a poll to get an Idea on a production numbers,, all was quiet,,, Not many spoke up,, we couldnt get a good Idea on what parts where major,, or needed the most,, So since My shop has 9 Mavericks and Comet projects going on currantly,, and these cars have come from around the country,, We got a crash course on what the guys are facing in restoring the cars,, and that has dictated the parts being produced,, as well as some of the requests that I have recieved as well. When the Battery Trays and the parts we already have on the market had been discussed,, we never asked for any investments to procede with production,, But many thought we were asking for a comitment by asking who needed what,, and how many,, We all know how that worked out, I am trying to bring Parts out for this community to make it easier and cheaper for us all to have our cars out on the street,, Since no one makes parts for our cars,, it has been a pain in the @&& and very Time consuming,, to get them restored,, Craig, the first of the Final parts will be sent out to you, Ray, and Dennis, to touch and feel and render your opinions,, Every one of the battery trays where the same Quality out of the box, as was all of the other parts we produced,, Production numbers should be the least of every ones worries, As long as the parts are produced with the same quality, and are priced fair,,
I still think lower rear quarter panel patches would be the biggest seller, along with the trunk drop offs... I could have used them when I had my 74.. I would have kept it if patch panels were available... My 71 is cancer free Joe, Thank you for making these parts for our cars...
Quarter Drop off RT and LFT was handed to the tool maker 2 weeks ago,, I have 4 cars with those just cheese cloth rusted,, I asked them to emboss them and also cut in the drain hole,, the Driver side will have the the hole for the gas gauge,, and a 2" lip at the top to weld to the trunk floor. I just have to make sure the 1975 sample part matches the 71 as well,, I am looking for a good older one
Welcome back Joe, I will buy a set of floorpans when they become available. Bought the battery tray and it was of very high quality.
Hey Thank you Much,, we had the Company making the rear composit Vallences test them out side in the weather for the year, I am supposed to see the results next Friday,, The Boom-arangs failed bad,, Chrome and durability,,. I am meeting with a retired fabracater that says he can pull off the Boom-arangs and they will exceede the factory by a mile,, Not sure what his plan of material is yet,, But I will keep all posted, Those quarter drops,, the blanks are going to be lazer cut,, then hit by the press. Last year was really bad for some of the companies that I had making things,, Kinda slowed progress down,, Sorry about that,, But I do believe we are going to be ok,, Just hang in there a little while guys,, Like Larry the Man say's Get-er-Done,,,,
Welcome back Joe! I will definitly buy those floor pan when they will come out. Do you know if you will make the other side of the frame cover?
