    The samples are in on the 70-72 Skylark outer wheel houses. We are test fitting them later today and then they will be put into production. This all means that we are real close to getting stock and filling pre-orders. As soon as we pool all the orders together we will be able to come up with a final cost. So if you have been waiting around, you need to get ordering, to help lower the cost. We have attach some picture we took out in our warehouse. Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we will have the price posted on them.

I may be able to send this to another board member to have it straighted so it matches the original... Its not real bad...We have alot of friends around here.. Are you interested?? let me know or PM me on details.. Randy

    You said the one you have is the same as the one for 68-72 Cutlass, well it's 64-69 Cutlass and then another one for 70-72. Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but Buick is all on its own. The only thing that comes close to working is the one for Chevelle but it has to be modified to work.

    Hello Shane, I went out to the 68 oldsmobile 4 speed car..Before I sent the four speed hump to Mike I made a mold of it.. Now I put this over the top of the 68 oldsmobile 442 hump and it matched in all the undamaged areas..It was a definate match.. So I think when I get it back I will straighten it using the oldsmobile as template.. Would you like to use it then?? I am a machinist so I do know what I am doing.. If you are interested please let me know.. Thankyou Randy

    I'm just not sure, if you look at the picture attached from our previous post, it looks similar, but the opening just doesn't have of a couple of the same angles. I'm not sure, maybe someone else can chime in about the pictures of yours... As much as we want to do it, we don't want to do it wrong.

    Yep you are correct those are the damaged areas..The 68 oldsmobile looks exactly like this one Shane..Sorry nobody else is chimming in.. We are talking on the wrong thread.. Maybe we should move to the four speed thread..I will post a new thread for help.. Randy

    any way... to add more ....when I got the GS it had an Automatic in it..... :Dou:
    and they ran the shifter cable through the shifter hole :Dou: but from what I can tell they look pretty close.... :TU: I'll have to disconnect the shifter cable and remove the console and pull back the carpet to be more accurate :Brow:

    we also need the ring that holds down the boot and the boot as well..... :shock:

    I need one ring and 2 boots :ball:

    Do you know anyone that has an original we can get reproduced? I would think the ring would be a much easier piece to get reproduced.. You have to ask Shane.. Randy
