    You guys have a lot of great suggestions and I appreciate them. Dennis is right in that we can go on with a 'wish list' pretty much forever, but the reality is that everything wanted won't be repoped becasue the more limited the demand, the less likely they are to be repoped. I believe that items like bumper conversion kits may fall into this category.

    DM, I already know of what you speak and I wish you much success on your venture. I heartily applaud anyone making the effort to get ahead.

    I am going to take these suggestions and try to figure out which of them are going to be in the greatest demand and will bring the most pre-orders. I'll take things from there.

    Dual hump tranny crosmembers , torque boxes would be great, floor pans, lower 1/4 panels, the V8 crosmember,and cowl vent repair panels as Matt said.

    I think that there would prolly be enough demand for them parts because thats what purdy much every one needs to replace or need to put in a V8.

    Dual hump Crossmembers and Engine V-8 Crossmembers are already being repoppped. I worked with a company to get those done and they are sold thru AutoKrafters (I didn't want to mess around with selling them).

    I would suggest getting a lower quarterpanel patch panel made. It would be somewhat simple and would fit all cars....two door or 4-door...and all years.

    Quarter windows gaskets. I will commit to four sets at whatever they cost.

    Floor pans (front and rear) that will work with 69.5 - 72. Even better if they were universal for all year Mavericks. (I am not as concerned with exactly original as with being compatible with the later catalysts and bucket seats to help keep number of unique parts down and increase applications.)

    I will need his complete kit. From a large to small bumper with the valance. I also need large to small bumper for the rear with rear valance. Maybe a new grill too.

    Hey Matt I need some help. For a street cam witch would you go with? XE274H-10 .520/.523 lift with a 2500 stall or XE268h-10 .509/.512 lift with a 2200 stall...the 302 have stock heads & pistons. Maybe i will change those later. 650 carb, Hooker 6901 headers, AirGap RPM intake...I will get a 3.73 or one step higher gear depending on the cam & stall. Thanks

    I would buy small bumpers and valances.

    I would be interested in a 3 piece ducktail spoiler... wouldn't have to be an exact re-pop of a Grabber, just nice.

    I need lower door steel to do some patching. An entire skin would be overkill, but it might be nice.

    Are we talking interior parts at all?
    Door panels
    Visors
    DASH PADS!!!

    dash pads , bucket seat frames (so we can bolt new mustang seats to them and have them bolt in and sit correctly) and a shock tower brace like the mustang boys have
