Re: Softop installation no Holes

Is the shop going to do a production run of X number of units or are they going to be made one at a time depending on who pays up?

Re: Softop installation no Holes

Not to rush but it's been a couple of weeks. Do we start sending in Paypal email addresses now or wait?

Thanks
Dave

Re: Softop installation no Holes

I would buy a soft top in a heart beat if I did not have to put holes in my windshield.
I like this idea. Please let me know if comes to fruition.
The website GMCPAULSTRUCKPARTS.com has a front window header repair kit. They might be a good source to approach for fabrication. Seems like it would be an easy add on to it.

Re: Softop installation no Holes

Gibber I don't have a confirmed date yet .Sorry for the wait . It's longer than I expected . It really needs another shop to take the project but I dont have time to run around looking for a shop when I know the price will go through the roof on these parts . Add tthat mix it's hard to find someone that can deal with one possibly two parts a day. So there not a. High degree of
Profit . Having said that I have recieved notice that he started in on them and the big project he had in his shop has now been completed .(life size 1966 Aston Martin). So I'm now told there is more time to focus on my Headers . That's the best I can tell you . And I know your frustration as mine are quite simular as these parts could actually make me some money to but they dont. It just boils down to costs for me and the furor gets some bennifit for its members I suppose . I hope the next week or two will show results . LOL

Having said that I certain most of you know what a couple weeks means when I make a post but things are looking better so I will leave it like that for now accept to apologize for the delays. I will make an announcement when I have them in my hand. Thank for your patience !

Re: Softop installation no Holes

Update. I am taking a drive down Abbotsford (one hr drive to where my Headers are getting made) to have a look at the first two Headers out of the mold to make sure everything is good then once I give the signal he's going non stop till we fill the orders or the mold requires rework again. Once I get them I still have to trim them down to fit into the shipping container.and they may require more trimming for your specific vehicle but I try to get them as close as possible . A couple more days to complete this stage. Sorry for the wait . Hopefully the product will make up for it !

Re: Softop installation no Holes

Update : I just got back from the shop where Headers are getting built yesterday. I will likely have all the Headers in ten days and just need to trim them down to fit and ship . So on that note I'm taking a 10 day holiday and will post when I return my desire to take your personal info for shipping. Remember to send me your payment with complete name, complete shipping with a contact phone number .
Please do not send your info until I request it when I return from my holiday . I will devote two weeks of my time to trimming, packaging, shipping. And this. Will help to keep it simple for me with minimal loss of income.

I will have the costs of the part established at the next update.
It is very important you have your info correct . Your legal name ,your correct shipping address and contact phone number if not provided will move to bottom of list . There are a lot of orders and I will try to get them all filled.

Ouch!! I've gone through a lot of pants due to the money burning a hole in my pocket for this. I guess I'll start even more obsessively stalking this thread.

Re: Softop installation no Holes

Update: I just talked with the shop today and was informed there is 12 Headers made and I'm going to pick up 15 the first trip down. But remember I still have to trim the parts and pick up shipping tubes before shipping so it'll still be another week before taking orders
regards Rob
