In the next couple of weeks I'd like to order one of your hood scoops. It looks like you do great work.

Edit, just a side thought, have you thought about getting into the Corvette community? I think there is a big potential for sales there with fiberglass parts.



I don't have the time & obviously not the money for materials (not to mention no Corvettes to prototype on) to start making parts to compete with several other companies making parts for the same car. I'm over making parts purely on speculation that they MIGHT sell if I make them. I've only sold three of the decklid louvers after soooo many folks said they wanted them & after I put several hundred $$$ in materials & over 60 hours in the prototype. It's one of the reasons I'm in this hole.
EDIT: Not to get political but with the debt Obama has gotten us into I don't see any hope for the economy to recover any time soon. No one has any money right now.
Thanks again everyone,

Just a shout out to tell anyone who does not already know.. Paul makes QUALITY stuff.

I just got some parts from fiero fiberglass, which are good parts that did not disappoint, but Paul's far exceeded their quality! His glass is thick and very straight for glass work. He has a nice slick gel coat which was much nicer then fiero fiberglass. His parts i could slap on my white car and just go... lol....

He does top notch work for a fair price. He does it cause he loves these cars and loves to create! Please support him if you can! You will not be disappointed. Once I get my final parts I will being installing his pieces on my fiero! I can't wait! I bought his quarter vents and stm rear scoop.... Whodeanie has my quarters to modify, but had to move his shop, so once he is settled I will go get them and begin my install!

Paul- make an 84-86 bumperpad fiberglass nose replica with the underneath grill and I will be your first customer.

Yeah... that would only take about 150 hours & $300 in materials...
I'll be glad to make a one-off for you if you have that kind of money.

What, how much for a custom nose? I just might.

Did you see what i want to do with a nose in my thread?


Want some driving lights in the bumpers, the bumper extended all the way across, a grill in the middle and the trim shaved.
You could make a mold and sell it as the "Tbone Special" bumper nose.

Oooo that would look nice. I would do it for $2,200 if you send me your bumperpad to work with (or if I can find one really cheap), but I wouldn't make any money at that.

Well I'll consider it and I know you put a lot of work into the stuff but i don't have enough money for something like that currently with trying to float the business.. but you never know what down the line holds. Thanks

Sorry to hear that you’re having a tough time Paul. You’ve been a big help to me (as well as many others) with advice on how to do body work and paint on my cars. Because of your do’s and don’ts, it’s coming along nicely….slow, as I never seem to have time but eventually it should turn out nice. I wish there was some way I could help you out with your business but I can’t add any more mods to my Formula without putting a H on the nose! When I get back to the GT I’ll probably be getting one of your deck lid louvers, I’ve always wanted one of those going back to the cheap crap ones that came out of Canada. If I had a little spare cash I’d get one now and stash it away for the future. I hope things turn around for you and business picks up.

Well I got the electric covered at least. Now I have to come up with the $60 for internet access - but at least it's not on the verge of being cut off.
