Perhaps planning the parade route was a bit premature... I just talked to Eric & Alan  at AMD, and neither knew anything about the back glasses & trim being made by AMD...  Alan said that it has been considered, but concerns about a limited potential market were the roadblocks...  I might call or write Mark H. after I research the matter further.

Tell them all markets are limited, think of this one as exclusive.

I met Rick and saw some of his parts at Monster Mopar in 2008.  I remember the parts looking pretty good up close, better than most repros that I have seen... especially the headlight buckets & pivots.

I called and talked to Rick today, and he does not use email.  Stuart, please post all the pics that you have of his repros or email them to me... THANKS!

[moparstuart]

Ok email sent  , no pictures of him nose or z bracket,  the guy who sent me the picture said he makes other small nose bits also? ??

Pics received... Thanks!  Rick also sells a "hardware" kit with all the bolts, etc required to assemble & install the nose internals.   Retail price is $169...

What's the price on the bucket and pivot bracket pictured above?

Basically correct, but the prices I was quoted were slightly lower... maybe to offset shipping costs?  

Assuming I did not misunderstand any quoted prices...

Pivots - $599  (Pair)
Buckets - $524  (Pair)
Latch Tray - $500
Rad Spt Angle - $90
Hardware Kit - $169 (he said he would knock $70 off the kit if part of a large purchase like nose internals)
Low Head Height Bolts to attach buckets to nose cone - $90 (apparently not part of hardware kit?)

Above items were quoted for a Daytona...

Superbird Nose Cone - $4,500

All prices plus shipping if not picked up at an event like MMW Indy, MMW St Louis, or Mopar Nats...

Hopefully I jotted the prices down right, but get your own quotes for the items you need.

Low Head Height Bolts to attach buckets to nose cone - $90 (apparently not part of hardware kit?)

We sell those bolts for $20 a set postage paid through DSAC.

From my birdie on the window sill.... " the glass and trim is moving forward and could all be done in 6 months for both the Bird and Daytona"
