terrible one

 :popcrn: When do you think you will have one ready to show off?

By the way, great website!

THank you!
We are hoping to get the replica piece done this weekend.
But the fact is that we had to restore my old one before.
I know how hard it is to get all muscle car guys satisfied with the part
and i know its gonna have some "cosmetic" differences from the factory piece.
But will only be notice by the most extreme entusiasts i think.
I asure you that we are doing our best we can...
I hope you guys are still interested
Here are a picture of the rebuilding process , right hand ribs was all gone before

Sure, I'll take a look. If you can convince me you can convince anyone.

But you have a '68, are you sure you are qualified to judge a '69 grill?   :nana:

I'm going to need to borrow your car for a few months to try this thing out. When can you deliver it to my house?

Bob,
That's a tough question to answer. Primarily I believe it depends on the quality of the replica. If it turns out as nice as an OEM section and has no fitment issues they will command a good price. I suspect over seas buyers i.e. US/Canada/South America will also have to contend with export/shipping/custom fees which need to be considered with the price you set.  :Twocents:

be easy on us because it is a replica not oem figure the cost to make one then for your profit set a percentage of the cost to make it, example it cost us $5.00 to mold a door handle we want an additional 10% profit so my asking price will be $5.50 then state buyer pays all shipping cost and in the invoice state



replica 69 charger door handle $5.50
shipping and handling             $2.50

total                                   $8.00

that's where you gotta start because everyone isn't going to tell you hey ill pay you 500 bucks for one because it is not oem that must be taken into consideration and then if its a quality piece it will sell itself as you get the word out

PS the buyer shouldn't know the mark up its bad for biz but don't get 2 crazy if you wanna sell alot of them

bobfist

Hi!
Thanks for your words.
No i wont tell anymore :)
I just want to help other muscle car guys all around the world :)

It all depends on the quality of the piece, and if its good quality and people want it you just need too make sure you make some money and cover your costs at the same time.

I agree. I tend to pay more for quality repro stuff than even waste a penny on some crap quality repro piece.

Back in 1985 I bought one from the Dodge dealer for $70 bucks, new in box.

looking good this far, we had some problems but it seams to good anyway.
A massive work on the body at the same time so take a look at this during the process of the grille.
