    Brad Conley RIP Staff Member

    I just talked to Duane on the phone and he asked all that have posted this week about the spoilers and other things to please post your requests again AFTER NEXT MONDAY. That will give him time to get home and settled back in before another deluge of requests.

    Thanks!!

    Thanks Duane. I was so happy to get in on these before they were all gone. I have a Year One repo and it looks like crap compared to this one! BY the way I love the blue GSX . Do you care to divulge the points total it received?

    To everyone,
    I am keeping a running list of all the spoilers on order and will continue to produce them for as long as we can. Later this week we will start up production again, and I will begin boxing the finished ones for shipment, and figuring out the total costs for everyone.

    John,
    Glad you liked the part and the car. I have no idea what the point score on the car was, but it did receive a Gold, so the score was somewhere between 385-400 points. I know they didn't like the "70" dash tach, but I didn't find the original 71 I had saved for the car until after it was finished. Oh well, I'll change it out later.

    Duane ,
    Do you (or anyone else) have a picture of one of these spoilers mounted on a car? I'd like to order one of these, too, but I'd like to see what I"m ordering before I do!
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Joe,
    I don't have any pics of an installed spoiler, hopefully someone else does.

    Chris,
    Everyone who posted here is on the list but your spoilers/baffles are not made yet, and until they are I will not take any payment. When we get to your order I will contact you with a total and you can pay me. Thanks.

    Hi Duane,

    I posted #25 on this thread fro a 1970 set up and was curious if you were planning on shipping out or pick up order only. I can not pick up so please let me know. Thanks, MO

    MarkO,
    I didn't figure you wanted to pick it up in Phila so I figured on shipping it. I actually have your spoiler finished now. Once I get one boxed/weighed I can determine the total cost and let you know.

    Alan,
    You may as well let me know what you want now so I can get everything ready. You can send me a PM if you want.
    Duane

    PS. The next events I will be attending are the BPG Nats and Fall Hershey. If any of you guys want to save on shipping and pick up the parts let me know.

    Thanks Duane. Does anyone make the correct hardware parts? TPP kit was a joke. Retuirned it with an opinion :( I know there is supposed to be a front brace, much like the fender to core support braces. Also, who repops the best baffle kit? Thanks, MarkO

    Okay- don't laugh at me guys, but i have a pace car spoiler on the back of my 76 Regal and a front spoiler would look sweet. Any ideas if this will fit fairly accurately without major hacking or shade-treeing? I want it to look nice. opinions? Thanks

    MarkO,
    When you purchase a spoiler I include a diagram that shows how it gets mounted and lists all the hardware needed to install it. Other then the brace and clips, the hardware is basically off the shelf nuts/bolts/washers that you can get from a local hardware store.

    The braces are not needed for my spoilers, because they are pretty rigid. Most of the show cars don't even install them.

    The 6 clips are the hardest pieces to find. In the past I have supplied a version that looks very close to the original 71-72 design, and have used them for all 3 years. (The 70 design is unique and not reproduced.) I can check to see if the clips are still available.

    I can also supply the correct baffles. Originally I had to fight so the company that die-cuts them would use the correct material, but now they come out perfect.

    To recap, I can supply
    70 or 71-72 spoilers (with the installation diagram/hardware parts list) $229
    70 or 71-72 baffles $55
    (6) baffle clips $1 each (need to check on avalability)
    and the braces are not required.


    Robert,
    The 70-72 spoilers have a noticable "V" shape to them. I am not familiar with how squared-off the nose is on the 76 regals, but am wondering if the v-shaped spoiler might look dumb on the car. Something to think about.

    Mike,
    Your spoiler is finished. I live south of phila, and work days in Bensalem, so you could pick it up at either location. PM me your phone number and we can set up a meet.

    Alan,
    I remember seeing one on a 69 and thought it looked ok. I believe the guy hand fabricated some brackets to install it, but do not remember if it had a baffle or not.
