I hire only early work release employees

68 and most 69 cars have round hole. maybe $50.00 to tool up and make the right part that 100,000 68-69 plymouths use.

[daytonalo]

50.00 What color is your world ?

[jerry]

the panels are the same except for the gas filler hole.now since the oval hole was used on late 69 and 70 only and since the majority of the b -body Plymouth's and Dodge's used round hole why not make the correct panel for the many many more cars with the round hole or take a little time and repo both?the repo panel is just wrong for that car. not knocking you or your fine work.

[daytonalo]

How long have you been restoring cars Many of these parts just came out and I will spell it out for you , it has to be cost effective for anyone to repop parts and a small hidden detail would have not been worth the extra 100 k in retooling. My only option if you were in charge would be to hold up a paying cust for who knows maybe 5 years or never until they make a round hole . I case you have not noticed people are not spending money and cant turn work away . Thanks for the advice Cupcake !!!

hey Larry

looking good!    i'm glad that work release program is working well for ya . i wish i knew you needed that third member . i have one still in the box that i never used. i would give ya a great price on it .  Rene

[jerry]

probably as long as you are old.but what difference does that make?it was an opinion about a part  not about you using it on that car.i think they should have made both round and oval.

Like Larry said, its all about the $$$$   Tooling is big money, they make what they feel is the best selling item, then work back from there. They have HUGE money into all the reverse engineering and stamps, so let them sort it out. Its not like there new products are flying off the shelves right now, so I am sure they are second guessing a bit what they have developed.  Between Goodmark and AMD, I bet they have spent 10 million on R&D, engineering, tooling, stamping, materials, labor, shipping, storage.
And there is always someone thats not happy, it didnt fit perfect, they didnt make frames for my 63, how come its so much money.

Larry, did you tack the rear clip together on the floor then install it onto the body? Or was that just a test fit?

[daytonalo]

Thanks for reply ! Yes we screwed entire rear clip together for fitting then removed rear clip , welded rails , inners , outers , trunk , ext and welded truck filler to QTS , by the way horrible fit , contour way off . We then reinstalled rear clip , installed susp and rear , put it back on four wheel and welded Qtr's on .

Nice work on the Road Runner ! How is the fit,and quality of all the different panels ? I have had good luck with my AMD parts so far.

[daytonalo]

Better than expected , but lets face it , it is still jap crap not OEM !!! We had to pull ,bend and tweak some of it to fit

[BigBlockSam]

Maybe tomorrow , Tonight I'm going to show a girl I know my Stimulus package !!!

no big thing.
