What about balsa wood John ?

 

40# total? That's not alot, but it's from the right end. Every bit helps.

U found 1 place wants $20K, & another wants $22K?

That's cause u are payin for that very mold.

I contacted a guy when I was gonna get a hard tonneau (yes I went w/. Snugtop) but, he said IIRC, $3K for CF plus he'd need a mold. Meaning I'd need to buy a hard tonneau like a Snugtop anyway for him to use as mold. I declined, since I didn't see spending on 1 cover goin to waste to get another. Also, $3K!!! Now if he just said $1500-1800, I mighta bit. No buyin 2 covers either. And also, the weight still comes off the wrong end on a bedcover.

If I had my own shop, I might make all this crap. No might, I would. In fact, I've been checkin on somethin these last 2 days along these lines, but smaller scale. Gonna test my skills.

 

No, the one place was $20k/mold, so I estimated $22k/fender

I've seen guys doing their owns parts before; if they were getting painted anyway, they wouldn't need a show-quality weave.

 

John, there is a place out in cumberland called Class Glass and Performance that will make whatever you want, they just need the part that you want copied. I was quoted $200 for my bumper, which isn't bad at all. They don't charge you for the mold unless you want a one off part that no one else can have.

 

Go drop a pair of 88-98 fenders off there for me. And a cowl induction hood. Lol

That place was smoking the finest crack one could buy..


Just talked with them, they told me they don't make anything other then what is listed on there site Class Glass

 

Well that sucks, it has been about 6 months since I was quoted, they must have been slow then. I'll probably end up making my bumper myself anyway, fiberglass is easy enough.

 

Did you try contacting VFN in Addison Illinois???
