Anybody know if they make repro dashes instead of the dash caps? That would be pretty amazing to be able to get made if they nobody does already.
I am working with the door shells first. Looks like the shells are the same for the Cutty/Regal. Different on the Monte.
As for other parts requests non metal, gonna have to wait.
Rust repair items first.
Working with Fairchild industries as well on some weatherstrips.

That is gonna be a HUGE seller...

I met with the general manager of KeyParts in Virginia last week and we discovered that Sherman Automotive has already developed malibu doors but the cost is astronomical. We decided that we would start the development of the Regal and Cutty first. We also believe that the Monte has the same structure and a different outer skin. I have people in Canada developing brake bent items as well. Now these are more slip on type items versus OEM style. Still, I am getting some manufacturers moving and discovering the G body potential. I'll be flying overseas to work with some manufacturers on some grilles and headlight bezels next month. Interesting data on what is still registered and in operation to this day. Seems like pretty decent potential.

Full gbody door panels would be a big seller.
Headlight buckets which are hard to find. I was fortunate enough to find a good set which I cleaned and painted, but it took me a while to find 'em.

euro cutlass grilles, definitely on the right track with doors. Trunk floor, tail light panel, as well as the sheetmetal between the inner rockers and the floor pan that sits above the frame. maybe its just easier to fab them up yourself.
OEM grade weatherstrips and USA made doors will sell to the enthusiasts. They'll be expensive being US made but totally worth it in terms of quality.
