Hey Everyone,
I have been a hardcore enthusiast of Classic Fords for a Long time. I currently have a large stable of Cougars, Mustangs, Thunderbirds and Rancheros. At times it has been a difficult process finding parts that aren't currently available, and once I do, trying to decide if it's worth the outrageous price the person is asking. Even "some" of the parts that are being reproduced, are not worth the asking price because of their lack of quality.
In my search for parts, I have come across someone who can make just about any "Plastic" part I need by using the techniques of Injection Plastic Molding.
My questions,
What original and/or hard to come by "Plastic" parts for the Cougar would be worth while to consider, both for the enthusiast and manufacturer's perspective?
What custom "Plastic" parts would enthusiast like to see become available for cougars? Example, Door panels; seatbacks with slotted magazine holders like SUV's; package trays with custom built in speaker boxes; etc?
We are currently doing a whole line of Original style & custom parts for Classic Mustangs, such as the stuff listed above, including the mustang trap doors, and at a fraction of the cost of original. He has done some original metal parts in plastic that even has the correct grain casted in the plastic.
So what do you think? Would there be any interest in something like this for the Cougars?
Let me know what parts you think would be worth while investigating further. Make sure you give a good description of the part and for what years.
You can reply to my post here, or email me at [email protected] if you would rather more of a one on one conversation.
*** FYI, I am not trying to solicit business, if I was I would have taken it to the classified sections. I just thought other enthusiast, other than myself might have a need for this kind of service also.
Thanks
