Reproduction 510 sheet metal

Recommended Posts

I used a 70 Valance on my 69-510 but I wasn't really concerned about keeping everything same year.

I am.

 

I have NOS Euro front markers that won't work with a 70 valence. If I really need a valence I'll just hunt for a NOS one I guess.

Hi Dave, I know you said before that you weren't looking to make floor pans. Is that still the case? I just ask because you are introducing so many new panels, it's hard to believe that you won't be doing floor pans, since that seems like it would be one of the most in-demand parts. I know there are a couple of other suppliers out there, but I think they are all hand made.

I just read the entire thread and cried a little. My dime has been in storage for 7 years. Partly because of life responsibilities and also because or body parts. I need a rear quarter. Any updates? Dave thanks for taking this on and your about to get a ton of my money.

Sorry no updates.

 

We have sent a repaired quarter and they are working on modifying the tooling. 

 

We have plenty of the defective 2d & 4d quarters for sale. 2d - $300/ea, 4d - $240/ea.

 

(the defect is in the last 4”-6” of the detail line. It is not correctly formed and somewhat blended out)
