Good news, and bad news.

Good News is the first article is done!!!! this means production will begin in about 10-12 days. The only this that could delay it a day or two is the substructure mountings. I got one out of the machine shop that I had welded up and brought over to mold onto the same day. The rest will not be ready until next week. I have to get those welded and over to production to be formed into the bumper. Depending on how my week goes it may be Wednesday before I can have them over there, production is about a week afer.

The bad news is they misfigured the volume of ruber these will require. This means the cost is $18 more per unit. I will honor the $265 price for all of you that have comitted to purchse to date. I still have pre-production purchases available at $283 for those of you that had not comitted to date. After May 5th, the full price will be $312.

There are some pictures of the production part sitting on a crappy bumper I have to check alignment. It look pretty good for the first part. Say Craig today and showed it to him. His response was favorable, but we still have a few minor things to tweek to get right. There were 3 very small bubles in the rubber that were on the back exposed edge, this is partially because they didn't get enough rubber squeezed in.

The last picture shows the normal bumper compared to the reproduction. Also notice the OEM style mounts with the hard eurathane bushing. The reproduction parts has stainless there. Unfortunately I didn'nt have the opportunity to polish the mounting hardware, Imay just leave them as they are as they are unexposed.

I'll post some better pictures on Saturday when I get back over to Craig's. He said I could take some with it on the 6 he's restoring.

Mark, for future runs, would it be possible to get out the slight dimples? I understand OEM pieces came that way due to the materials and manufacturing process...and that you templated yours on an original... Just thought I'd ask. On the flipside, if the dimples stay, the piece will look more authentic, yeah? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For the most part there aren't any dimples on the part. Other than the contours that run horizontally. The dimpling is mainly a product of the sub structure rusting. As all my sub-structure is stainless, so that should not be an issue.
