banzai510(hainz) Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I remember when I wrote a place that made Camero sheet metal they said laughed at me when I told them there was a market for 510 metal. Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 any clue when fenders might be ready for order? I have placed an order on front fenders, hoods, & front valances. It looks like around a mid-March availability. Once I get confirmation the order is on its way (mid February +/-) I will open sales. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Were latches available yet? Maybe Im just missing them on the site... Quote Link to comment
scooter stuff Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I remember when I wrote a place that made Camero sheet metal they said laughed at me when I told them there was a market for 510 metal. Maybe they laughed because you spelled it "Camero" 3 Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 When are you getting rear beavers? Josh- Josh, Yes they are coming. I believe in 2-3 months I will have them and the inner trunk drops. Were latches available yet? Maybe Im just missing them on the site... I had latches, but they were for RHD cars. LHD sample was sent and I am waiting to here about availability (as well as hood hinges and prop rods) Maybe they laughed because you spelled it "Camero" I've gotten similar replies from folks selling muscle car parts in the States. Problem is none of them are manufacturing the parts and they are all buying off shore just like FutoFab does. They are also tied heavily into American iron and do not see that the import nostalgia market is taking off. I wish folks like Steele Rubber would start making decent replacement rubber trim parts for imports. They do a great job on the US stuff but how many more 'Cameros" are there out there needing to be rebuilt. I'd think a smart business plan would be to look at the next area of growth and I don't see any stand-out US cars after '74. . 1 Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 When are you getting rear beavers? Josh- Been in the 510 world for 20 years now, and owned many of them, yet I have never heard of the term "rear beavers". Is this a joke, or legit? What the hell is a rear beaver?

Josh K. Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Its the panel under the rear tail light panel. I think it's the Aussie term. Rear Valance? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Josh K. is correct, the "beaver panel" in an Aussie term for a lower valence. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Dime Dave Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 The beavers are coming, the beavers are coming! OK maybe I'm over reacting a little but, but FutoFab will have rear valances and trunk drops coming in the next few months.
