The 66 front indicating lenses are available now. I have ten sets. They are very good reproductions. The price is 55 dollars per set shipped to your door. I have many email pics available so you can email me directly and let me know. On the 65's, we're working hard to get them going. It's a long process with a variety of reasons for not having them yet, but working hard on it this end. Thanks for you consideration.

 

BUMP

George -

Thanks for the heads up on the '65 GS, but I'm kinda looking for one that is "local"....


Also, I just wanted to give this thread a BUMP ---- the '66 repro lenses are now available form Benderbrew (Len)


BTW - Norman Lutz is now a member of the V8Buick board....

 

65-66 GS Lens

I have sent Len Bentley <benderbrew@aol.com> a stock of 66 Front Indicator Lens as this will reduce the unit cost to you guys.
The 65's are still in the pipeline due to the need to produce a much better mould for the required quantities.
The ones I originally had done where acceptable but the shape acheived due to the size of the lens with the flexible type mould was not consistant.
You would never know when the lens where mounted but in the hand they where not quite the quality I was after.
I was hoping to have some 65's in hand at the WCN in Las Vegas Oct 8-9 but it looks like later in the year.

If you really, really, really, want NOS....there are some on ebay....current price is over $100! Your money....your choice....remember we're talking about parking light lenses, fer cryin' out loud!!!! :grin:

 

65 GS / Skylark Lenses

I have a single but very perfect 65 lens that I'm going to have a mould pulled from soon.

I'll try to post some pictures of a finished lens when done (hopefully in 3 - 4 weeks)

If my lenses turn out ok, and the other guy doesnt pull through, we can talk about trying to fill the demand on this thread for the 65.

Last count I think we were at about 20 sets at $65.00 a set... Correct?

More to come..

Chris

 

Chris, keep us posted...

Len, any progress? :TU:

 

Got my 3 sets from Len yesterday they are awsome!

 

Thanks for the kind words on the 66 lenses guys. Now on the 65s, been all but beating around the face and neck to get those delivered, and still waiting. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel. I'll post as things progress, but my best guess is that they are still a few months away.
