Kinda discouraged about the whole thing.

He raised the price (for any future parts from my molds) so much so that I can not have his company make more.

He would like to make me some perfect molds and produce perfect parts. Very understandable for a professional.
He takes pride in making awesome fiberglass products. To pay him to make new molds would cost around $1800 (bumpers and side skirts).
I do not have that kind of money to invest, especially when I have no idea if I will sell enough to recover the cost.

What I can do is search for another small fiberglass company that will work with the molds that I have. They are very usable, just take some prep (putty in places like in the molding groves).

I also can make parts myself but it is not a side business that I would enjoy, too smelly. It's kinda fun for my car but doing a ton of production would get old quick.

I do have one rear bumper that needs a buyer.

FieroWannaBe is trying to come up with the money for the front bumper but is having a hard time with it. I should give him another week or so. If he can't come up with the money, Bridgetown was the next to say he wanted the front one I have.

Do you have a pic of the one you have, and how much were you guys talking? I might want to be in that "line..."

Are you referring to all four parts 2-side rockers (lt &rt) and 2-bumpers (front and rear) for $1800 for this guy to make them?

Edit: I can't spell, hehe.

i got to say i love the work you have done. when the parts were mounted was there a lot that had to be tweaked or were they pretty much bolt on? I am very interested in the complete kit, so much so that i would be will to discuss with you "investing" if you will my money too get the molds made. I would never dream of copying some ones car but would ly buy a kit of theres they were willing to produce. p.m me or e-mail if interested in my "proposal" and i can give you my phone number so we may talk easier, again great job Ray
