Repopping parts

[jns]

WARNING!!!!!!!!

Not sure if I posted this or not...I am in the process of reproducing hard to come by already not being reproduced small metal parts. I am open minded to ideas. I should be introducing my first parts at the Mopar Nat's this next weekend in Columbus Ohio....I am selling brand new freshly casted with bronze type material so it will not pit like the old days. 1968 Dart seat medallions...I am the only person in the world as far as I know that has invested into making the molds and working a very good foundry and plater to produce these parts. They will look identical to the old ones only better. In order to recoop my investment my original thoughts were to sell them for $95 each or $300 per set of 4 for a new car restoration. Don't waste your time and money on the old ones. buy new ones that all match...I will be walking at the Nationals selling them for an Introductory low price of $225 a set. I will sell my first batch at this price to get the word out then I will evaluate my cost. I am in the process of making two more 68 Dart parts that will blow your mind when you see and hear this news. I will be introducing this soon. I am best to call my cell or email me to get these. I DO NOT visit this site that often so it is best again to hit me on my cell or email....

As far as looking at new ideas I am open minded to look at any and all parts for any car. After evaluating I will let you know then if I do not have a part to build my mold I will go searching for someone that will loan me their part to get measurements from to make mold. This typically takes 2 weeks. I will then return your original part unharmed. In return for lending me your part I will in return give you a new part at NO CHARGE when I run my first run of parts.

Thanks in advance for your interest and look forward in seeing and talking to you.....

How about repopping 1968 GTS Power bulge hood inserts..?

[mopar stu]

dont see a huge market for those,i would go after trim pieces and light bezels,they are more likely to get beat up therefor create a larger customer base.i would like to see grills made,if it can be done for a reasonable cost you would make a mint.

Grilles is a great idea however it is out of my capability....Keep the ideas coming but I need smaller scalled ideas preferably that I can make a mold and pour a casting to be plated chrome like the bezels, seat medalions, hood inserts(I am on to 68 inserts next) etc....



Thanks

[bOb shingler]

how about the little gold pentastar that only goes on the lower portion of the right front fender?

hey bob doesnt year one have those?I'll check

[sickhemi]

anyone interested in polished stainless 68 hood inserts? i have a machinist working on a set for me i don't have a price yet but probably around $600 a set and they will be held in by machine screws from the back not pins and speed nuts he's only making one set for me at the moment. but if you wan't i can have him fire up the cnc and make more. they won't be 100% correct but they will look awesome and never pit. the space in between the bulges will be a little thicker so they can be drilled and tapped from the back and left and right side will be the same.

I'd be very interested, but $600 bucks is outside my budget.  Maybe if somebody could do a nice set in aluminum.......

This is not a metal part, but NOBODY reproduces this part and it is a VERY important part for any A-Body owner with the 3 speed windshield wiper motor!  It is the special rubber seal that is needed to mount a 3 speed windshield wiper motor on the firewall. There are a few folks that offer a round foam gasket, but that sub-par piece does NOT work nearly as well as the factory seal shown below. Without this factory seal, water, heat and dirt will flood into the interior at will!

As far as the little fender Pentastar, they are correct it is available thru many sources and it is plastic. I have a brand new one in the little plastic bag from Year One if you are interested in it. I am not going to need it. I will make you a deal on it and will be less shipping I am sure than Y1...

As far as the wiper seal great idea and I know what you mean but I can not make it. Sorry...

Will continue to work on the hood inserts...If I am able to make these they should turn out to look just like originals. I will know more next week...I know how important it is to me to have the correct looking part on my cars, so I assume you are the same.  I will strive to make parts correct or I just won's make them, I will keep you posted next week...

Keep up your ideas!!!


Have a GREAT week...

AGAIN I WILL BE AT THE MOPAR NATIONALS WITH THE SEAT MEDALLIONS I HOPE. I HAVE A FEW LEFT THAT ARE NOT ALREADY SPOKEN FOR. YOU CAN CALL ME ON MY CELL BEFORE AND I WILL KEEP YOU A SET OR CALL ME FRIDAY OR SATURDAY AT THE NAT'S....


KIND REGARDS,

I agree on the finish panel...My friend Bill Petrow of Special T's Unlimited is the guy to talk to about doing that...He has the knowledge to do it if he would...He restores them to beautiful condition...His number is 847-255-5494...Tell him Steve Lindquist sent you to him...Very swell man to do business with.....

I have been trying to get a good 67 trunk finish panel. So far I have 3 that are not good enough to put on my car. Also the trim that goes above and below the finish panel.

Layson was to make one but the last time I check it was still unavailable

I really want one so the rear of my car looks FINISHED

and $600 for hood inserts.......I have morre than that in mine getting them rechromed and they didn't repair the pits in the bottom of the ribs or the broken studs

[bOb shingler]

ok about the maker's mark. it was just a suggestion to get into the market. how about those front fender extentions on the darts and demons made out of aluminum? there is even a bbd member looking forf a set.

WOW!! Are you saying that you have $600 in your inserts and they are still not pit free and nice? This is why I am trying to help where I can...I hope to have them soon...Keep your fingers crossed as long as my old mold maker can do the work...The market I am in is smaller parts that are casted at a foundry I use. Things like Finish Panels are stamped out of sheet metal of some sort and I do not unfortunetly have a source right now to do that. Not saying I won't , but not now. Keep the casting ideas coming...

How does 73-76 Duster tail lights sound to evryone? Any interest other than the gentleman that ask me? Just taking head count....



Have a GREAT Day

I was told about a pop up feature on this website that moves your original note up to top? Not sure how that works? Any help would be appreciated...


Thx

steve

[bOb shingler]

this will move it to the top.

[jns]

this will move it to the top.

I guess I a little slow I still am not sure what you did to move it? Sorry...

[thebankerstoy]

anytime a new post to a thread is done by someone, it automatically moves the thread back up to the top of the page. The only folks who can make it a "sticky" thread, that always stays at the top of the page without any new post, are Bill Reilly (owner of this site), or one of the moderators with Bill's permission.

Bump to top!!   

[thebankerstoy]

It has been brought to my attention from another member on this site, that the chrome marker light bezels for 70 -71 Darts, amoung others, are not being repoped and are getting VERY hard to find in the NOS market also. Maybe you would be interested in making these?

Richard

[jns]

Can you send me a picture of one and do you have an old one you could spare me to look at for evaluation purposes and to make mold from if we go that far. If you loan it to us S&N RE-POPS will reward you with a free part when we run our first batch. First we need to look at our cost and investigate the market to see if it makes since for us to make them. So if you have a part to send me that is great but if you can start with a picture that is good...

Please send the picture directly to my email it is check more often than this site.


Thanks in advance,

Hi Steve,

I have notified John (overpowered) who is the member here who REALLY needs the marker light bezels to finish up his VERY nice 1970 Dart Swinger. I told him about your thread here, so he should be posting here soon and maybe you two can work out the details on this project.
Thank you VERY much for your consideration on this part. Your company and many others like it, are the future for our beloved old cars, as the NOS parts supplies are shrinking at an alarming rate, so without the reproduction parts that we so badly need, our hobby will soon be lost forever.......and that's just NOT a nice thought. 

Richard

[jns]

Thank you so much for the heads up on your friend. Also thanks for your kind words about our efforts to help. My son and I just recently started our business and we are getting quite alot of interest and support from good folks just like you. Nathan and I are both Mopar fanatics and we started our business for that very reason. It is becoming a very difficult hobby due to the diminishing of the parts. Our first parts was the 68 Dart seat medallions. This is what got us thinking we needed to help when I had a gentleman call me and ask me if I had any 68 Dart seat medallions since he new I had a BB 68 Dart. I looked and said yes sir I do but it is not in very good shape. He said I don't care I will give you $90 if that is OK with you. Well then is when I said we need to help if we can. We are now offering the 68 Dart seat medallions for $225 for a set of 4 beautiful new shiney parts made from high quality yellow metal with beautiful chrome plating. We have had great success with it and we have only had it out for 2 weeks now. We are excited and cotinuing to be listening for new ideas. We need what I call parts that are the size of your hand that we can build a mold and cast the parts in a foundry we use. We are now evaluating the GTS door panel emblems. It looks like we may be bringing this on by the time it snows in Indiana. We will also be evaluating the chrome console automatic shifter knob.

Well I don't want to hog the space but felt like I needed you and anyone else to understand what S&N RE-POPS are trying to do. We are new and excited so be patient with us and we will do our best to do what makes good business since to help. Some things we just won't be able to do but please don't be afraid to ask.



Kind Regards,

Steve, Can you re-pop a stearing column cover to replace or change a car from a column shift to a floor shift?
This is a very hot item that is getting harder to find, I have even had to chop up a column shift cover and smothe it
out on one car because I could not find a floor shift steering column. Just a thought.
