    Yeah we know, but we had a quicker response to the grilles and the fan shroud... Maybe it's the fact we don't know the exact price yet, but if we don't get orders then you can expect a lot of $$$ for these and less will to make more sheet metal.

    Bit of a different type of part here, just about everyone reading this forum can put in a fan shroud, or a grill.

    So the intial outburst will be less, but the sales will be steady.. we have fixed a number of inner wells, as well as scrounged for used ones in the last few years, and I can assure you guys that we certainly would have bought a new part in those instances. I have a few cars in the shop right now that need them, and having this part, in conjunction with either NOS or the decent tabco panels that are out there, will in fact be a deciding factor in a lot of guys doing cars in the coming years. The cost of finding used, or fixing the customers rusted ones is often times a deal breaker in bodwork estimates.

    It's easily $300-400 a side to repair the "average" partially rusted pieces, so any price less than that, will be a big advantage for a lot of folks.

    In addition to that, a good portion of the guys who are going to buy these are shop owners, and a lot of them are not on the 'net regularly.

    To David Gramlow,
    Put me down for a set of one LH and one RH. You have my name from this posting. I will contact your business email to give you my phone number. I will not post it or my email address here for privacy purposes. Hope I have not offended anyone.

    Welcome to the board.
    David does not have anything to do with these. You need to contact The Parts Place.

    I ordered a set of these last week. Car is at the body shop with the quarters already off. It's going to be close on time.

    Thanks to The Parts Place for getting this done.

    Rusty,
    They didn't say but the original plan was 30-45 days to ship and that statement was on 3/1/06. Hope they are on schedule.
