Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Cheby, If you serious about the patent you don't have to go all out at first. You can do a patent pending and make it very broad so it will encompass as much as possible. That will slow any copy cats. The true patent won't be an inner fender. It will be something to do with the material used and the function of your design to make room for more wheel travel. Inner fenders would be concidered prior art so that would be unpatentable. Just FYI in case your moving in that direction.
Good luck and the plugs look good. How much do they weigh? |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i dont know what the fender will weigh ?? the factory ones weighed about 14.5 pds apiece so hopefully lighter than that, the plugs weigh about 50 pds with all of the reinforcement ...LOL, i am working on a Carbon FIber version also if you are concerned about weight

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
The only reason I asked was when I raced back in the day they had two weights of fiberglass parts. The light parts failed on the street. They cracked and broke at the mounting points and had stress cracks everywhere. Weight wasn't the issue. Maybe I should have asked how thick are they in the wheel arch where they will see rocks and debris? Carbon fiber would be cool though...LOL

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i will get all of the exact measurements in about 2 weeks when i get the first few sets back from the glass company, right now they have them and they are to far away from me for me to go measure them , if you look back a few pages in my build thread you will see a few pics of the drivers side installed

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Welcome new "High Octane" vendor!
Shoot me a PM when they are production ready, with a price. (I will most likely pick up a set vs having them shipped,... if I decide to purchase a set)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Who knows....maybe my silver 68 might see a set in it's future. We'll see where I'm at on it. I'd love to be just rolling around right now! I did buy an acre here in Elk City, so I'm in the process of getting my shop going(long process).

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I have one of the best carbon guys in the buisness if your price is to high let me know. He has been laying up carbon for IRL cars forever. He is in Indiana but he is good. We were talking about building one of these trucks complete cab, bed, doors and hood out of carbon. Let me know if you need his number.
