This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

repo 70 gs grill,who makes the available???

Discussion in 'Repro Parts' started by SHERWOODSTAGE1, Jul 29, 2009.

    Hey guys,
    Does anyone know or can direct me to the company that actually makes the repo 70 gs grill,I want to inquire about another possible repo part for them to make(plastic,and not for a buick).
    Maybe it's the same people making the GN grills now too.
    If they are able to readily do these projects,I have a prospect possibly for them to venture into,that I think would definitely be a better seller than the gs grills.
    If they went thru all the effort for a one year car,and not a high production car at that,why not get into a part that can cover 2 years and have a bigger following which would/should lead into a stronger payout for their effort,not to mention the help of that particular brand in the hobby.
    Thanks,Paul

    To my knowledge, only the GSCA and The Parts Place have made 70 grilles.

    Supply them or physically make them????? I thought the parts place is like a year one where they just distribute.

    Call Joe at the Parts Place..

    And no, they don't just distribute, they make a lot of parts, including the 70 GS grills.

    I believe the GSCA had theirs manufactured in France.

    What Jim said.

    Also check with "Buickfrank" Frank McIntyre . He did the 69 GS grilles and overflow tanks.
