Yea, actually negotiating the pricing right now. Right now too much for us.

A new test item. Pretty good fit? Imagine how good I'll be when I am 12

Interested in consoles or making a Hurst Shifter conversion?

clues, clues......


86 olds grilles are being quoted and headlight bezels for the regal gn, and cutlass are in quoting stages now as well.

Doors are being examined and are getting ready for initial tool stages. (this is a long project)

Making patch panels for the rear fender areas on regal, cutlass

Moonroof seal is done, ready to run production.

all kinds of stuff going on really. Lighting, geesh, too much to explain.

I hope you are correct, they are the nicest piece that I have ever created with a factory.

I think the HL bezels on the cutlass and regal will be a homerun as well

Any news on progress with other parts?

Alright,

Time to get more up to date with what we have going into production,

86 Cutlass grilles should be ready in a couple months
All lighting for the bumpers and marker lighting ready in a few months to T1 samples for all Buick, Olds, and Monte
We will be quoting a Bucket seat conversion kit which will involve center console pieces, shifter handles, and brackets
We will be making all brackets for the Hurst shifters and top plates and whiskers and pieces needed to make the needed parts available.
I had a cool idea of having the Lighting Rods name in transparent ABS with ambient lighting making the words glow.
Headlight doors will be in chrome and black for regal and chrome for cutlass at the time the grilles are available for the cutty
Actively seeking Lighting Rod licensing and manufacturing
Moldings, I dont know where to start, we are manufacturing the top 10 moving and needed anodized and black out moldings needed. We are going to package molding sets, for example you will be able to buy front windshield moldings as a set, hard top rear moldings, and a cutlass would have all moldings as a kit for the roof rail, door reveal, and a and b pillar as one. We have fought till blue in the face to make the best quality product for a fair price. The manufacturer makes for Harley Davidsion. Good stuff..
Making a cowl hood for the cutlass out of steel
Making a cowl hood for the regal out of steel
All kinds of sheetmetal
Parts were sent to the MFG to make a RIM composite bumper cover for those that want to do a SS monte carlo.
Doors for 86-88 Monte are close, we are waiting on t1 samples in two months

I am meeting with MFG at Gbodyparts on Wed and Thursday in North Carolina this week to insure that all is on production with the Cutlass Proiject.


All kinds of stuff going on. I ll keep all posted.
