Are they listed in the catalog yet ?

I can't remember what Mikey914 said about those of us that needed only one instead of a set. I think it was something to the effect that it wouldn't be much cheaper than buying a set, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I'll pop for a set if that's the only way they're going to be offered.

This journey, and I call it that because it has really evolved from just buying some molds and making some part has become a complete program now. We have been able to improve durability, and will make our ultralight version and a reinforced version , as well as a balsa GT version.

We are changing materials on all of our fiberglass products to a more durable version.

Those of you that have known me for awhile know, I can't just make a product. I strive to make the best possible product.

The new Haltbar panels are significantly an improvement.
This is why this has drawn out longer. We are also setting up a testbed to prove that they are actually a better product.

More to follow soon. I'm trying to get this done this weekend.

It’s always amazed me how you could have a full time job taking you all over the country and manage to produce excellent parts often better than original for our little cars. Thanks!

For me no rush, but I'd still be in for a pair.
Mikey914
I can make them, just working out pricing on these. Costs have gone up and I have to machine the mounts. I just about have the mounts done and will have pricing on these in about 10 days.

Please put me down for a set also. Thank you.
whitetwinturbo
.........I could use a pair
Mikey914
We have the molds done and are going to do these in the next month. The problem is that the costs were more that we had hoped for. We have found some ways to reduce, will finalize prices in the next 8 days or so.
Mark
Mikey914
Finally started back up on these and will be getting a few out this next week for some that have been quite patient. Who's still interested now that pricing has stabilized some ?
RFoulds
I am interested. How much?
Mitox
I’m still interested in a set
Robarabian
I don't want to be left out.. Ill take a set.... but what's the price? LOL
Mikey914
These will be $340 both front and rear. They will be textured, but can be sanded smooth if you choose to paint the same color as the body.

Hi Mark,

Any word on these yet?
Mikey914
I’ve done a few but going to have to farm these out as they are time intensive. I’ll post up more shortly.
Mark
Geezer914
I am in for a set!
jmalone
I am in for a set!
Deusexmachina77
Very interested.
DaveB
I'm in for a set too. Since the pricing was 2 years ago, I assume there will be a price bump-up for post COVID and outsourcing the builds.
