    Biscayne and Belair side trim for 62-64 2 door post cars. The side trim on these cars have been beat on in parking lots for over 50 years and nobody reproduces them despite a big need for these parts that are now impossible to find in usable condition.

    Do you have a picture? I am familiar with what they look like and would need a sample to work with. They could be made out of bronze and would hold up quite well.

    Don't hate me, but...
    SBC valve covers that say Ford, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chrysler, Plymouth, etc.

    Ditto for SBF.

    I am currently working on a disc brake kit for wide five front hubs. The same setup will be used on all my early Ford stuff so it will be interchangeable with the 40-48 spindles. I am keeping the proper track width because these are all issues that I found with what is currently available.

    I can see a market for something like this. I have been toying with the idea of a compact tilt mechanism that would look period correct and not be bulky.

    Don't get me going on China's oldest speed shop. That is a good idea.

    I'm not in love with it either, to tell the truth. But I think those cross-branded valve covers would sell. Maybe not so many to HAMBers though.

    I think the interest in those petered out about the same time the cry baby dolls did.

  20. I know this is OT, but a drivers side rear door (or both sides) to build 67-72 Chevy crew cabs. I say both as suburban donors aren't easy to find either.

    Kendal from Kruzin Kustoms told me about it, they're getting pretty pissed with the stupid changes that are being made to the cert process.

    A repop of the old Dixco Stars and Bars "Big Daddy" tachometer. I stupidly sold both of mine about ten years ago. The things you do when you're laid off.

    Oh, and please do the Gary Beck Canadian version for our neighbor's to the north.

    Model A deck lid inner patch panel. The bottom edge always rusts out but you have to make a patch or buy a whole inner panel for $300+ and cut it up. I've got several of them that needs to be fixed.

    I have been working with mid 80's Ford tilt mechanisms because the tilt is up higher than most others and would make it more compact.
