I wouldn't bother cutting out the plugs, just another area to seal. If someone was interested in a true Concourse resto they could cut them themselves.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You could include a sheet with the hole locations and diameters for the "have to be perfect" customers. For probably 75% of the guys that need this, the fewer holes the better.

We've had a couple calls already for these trunk pans. The die is out of the press for further work. I can sell the few that were stamped yesterday, I think theres only 2 or 3, but there will be more in two to three weeks.

The final product will be a little bit longer, we need to have the laser program fine tuned and some punches made up to put flanges on the part.

Pete, I spoke with Mike this morning and he has said that the price for the ones that were stamped first with the AC section cut out are being sold at the standard price?

$225 plus shipping for the AC section
and more for the whole piece section.

FYI: He said that because the AC section is "perfect" that there is not a discount for the early stamped sections cut for AC!

Ultimately Mike has the last word, hes the boss.

But ya, these parts are perfect for the A/C cutout. Theres no wrinkling.

I only want quality parts heading out the door. I dont know what everyone was expecting pricewise, but as everyone has wittnessed, there is alot of work involved in making a die and then perfecting the part. The payback period for this die will be several years.

That's a reasonable price Pete. I hope you sell enough to re-coup your tooling costs.

Good work on the A/C patch / front trunk panel Pete.. Hopefully going to be trimming, fitting and welding this in next weekend. I will post pics of the install (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I sold the one and only i had to MrHyde, but the die will be going back in the press next week. With only one 500 ton press, there are a lot of dies that need that much tonnage to make a crisp part, so sometimes there is a line up. We did some more grinding on the die to make a better part, so hopefully we can start a production run. Im assuming you only need the AC cutout, so I can definitely get you one of those next week regardless if it is still not perfect.

great work Pete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

How long will your die last? I ask this because I saw a show about the Denver mint and their nickel presses have their dies replaced at least once a week! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Thanks Sean,

Wow, once a week! They must be making a lot of money there! The die should last for at least ten thousand hits. Probably will never even stamp that many

We are almost there! I think we will have a good wrinkle free stamp by the end of the week. There is still work to be done on the laser trimmer and then the edges to be folded up.

Here is a picture of what we have to do to check all the tight spots for clearance.
We first stamp two small sections of sheet metal where we know there is no tight spots. Then we place small pieces of lead(solder strips) on the die in several spots. Shut the press with full 500 tonnes and then measure the thickness of each piece of lead to determine where more polishing needs to be done.

You can see where the tight spots are written in marker. It varies from .029-.049 I know that it doesn't seem like much, but .20 will keep the die from shutting fully and thus cause our wrinkling.
