Tristin Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I used a 70 Valance on my 69-510 but I wasn't really concerned about keeping everything same year. I am. I have NOS Euro front markers that won't work with a 70 valence. If I really need a valence I'll just hunt for a NOS one I guess. Quote Link to comment
SupDoc Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi Dave, I know you said before that you weren't looking to make floor pans. Is that still the case? I just ask because you are introducing so many new panels, it's hard to believe that you won't be doing floor pans, since that seems like it would be one of the most in-demand parts. I know there are a couple of other suppliers out there, but I think they are all hand made. 1 Quote Link to comment

pimp1911 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I just read the entire thread and cried a little. My dime has been in storage for 7 years. Partly because of life responsibilities and also because or body parts. I need a rear quarter. Any updates? Dave thanks for taking this on and your about to get a ton of my money.

Dime Dave Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 No ETA on quarter panels yet. I did receive a pre-production rear bumper to test fitting. These will be coming soon. I'll post up pictures when I have the test fitting done. 4 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Any thought given to the metal panel under the rear bumper on the 68-73 wagons? They are extremely hard to come across, but I wonder if there would be enough demand. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Any updates for the new modified rear quarter panels? Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Sorry no updates. We have sent a repaired quarter and they are working on modifying the tooling. We have plenty of the defective 2d & 4d quarters for sale. 2d - $300/ea, 4d - $240/ea. (the defect is in the last 4”-6” of the detail line. It is not correctly formed and somewhat blended out) Quote Link to comment
