I wouldn't say I was one of those that were saying that either. I started work on this in February 2000 and had a working model buy 2003. I ran into the same problem Ben at OPP did. Finding someone to make the glass that didn't require a minimum of 400 sets, then finding someone that would not require a minimum of 500 sets of window scrapers. I found a glass maker in 2003 that would sell me 200 sets of glass, but there wasn't enough up front interest for me to sink that amount of money into buying 200 sets of everything.

Here is the pics of mine from 2001 when I had the template working (if you look at my captkaoscustoms.com site under the timeline it is the "special project" that I kept refering to. N2TRUX and a few others have seen these.

Or think about it a little less.

I was in on those posts too. I also knew what Chris knew that it would be financially impossible for the average Joe to make this happen.

I had done some research in to costs and feasibility for doing just one. Chris had taken the initiative to research even deeper for the possibility to make a kit. The factor here that changed everything was having an established company willing to front the R&D cost and initial expense of doing the first order.


Props to Brothers for spending the big bucks and bringing us 73-87 owners something we could only wish for a year ago....

Brothers doesn't make the kits, they just sell them. One Piece Products (OPP) is the mfr..

I'd rather pay the $700 and know it's going to work.

Yes that's true. From what I understood though it was Brothers that gave the initial order and got the project to the light of day.
