Just an update, the supplier has told me they're about 2 weeks out from shipping me the samples. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mark,
Thanks for the update.
Once you approve the samples, is that when you would like the deposit?
Also, will the samples include the front bumper cooler mods, so you will have a better idea on the final costs?
Thanks for tackling this huge project!

I've been asked by a few members if I will be doing early rear bumpers.

This will be started after this buy is done, but I want to confirm quality of this run before we start on early rears.
Unfortunately I doubt if I'll have the numbers for the GB pricing on the early rear. Right now the price is TBA.
I'm aiming for at worst case it will be the same regular price as late rear.

I will be selling bumpers at regular price after the buy and the pricing will still be pretty good.


BTW I will be getting 3 bumpers in the samples , standard front, GT front and a late rear.

Yep it's still open and Yep still waiting for that "Your samples are ready" call. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Highly doubt they are dogging it they know they have a big order to fill and they don't see a penny till I approve them.
I also warned them you guy's are a bunch of picky SOB's.

The sample bumpers should be ready to ship to me at the end of the week.
I asked for detailed pics just in case I can spot any mistakes before they ship.
I'll give a sneak peek at that time.

Yes they will fit and I also can't wait but I want them in my grubby hands so I can confirm the fit and finish.
Even best case by the time they ship the samples, ship time, approval, production, shipping time again... we are at least 2 months off. More if issues need to be rectified.
Big project.

Once the ball is rolling on this product the plan is to do the early rear and maybe a matching GT valance in paint grade.

Woohoo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

First sneak peek at the bumpers, these are unpolished.

Looks like they are pretty confident I'll be happy, they have gone ahead and started with production.

I have a feeling they are going to be just fine. I also sent a bumper top and was quite clear that how it fits in the corners to both the top and body will make or break the deal.

I doubt it, just looking at the shop, well let's just say not clean and pristine like a tour through Restoration Design. The person I'm dealing with I don't think ever steps on the shop floor.
But who cares? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The end product is all we care about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
