Hi folks, just chiming in that we are selectively adding some of the rarest parts from that list above. We tend to focus on the smaller hard or impossible to get parts depending on demand, but usually the best approach is first handling the most visible trim parts that hard to find, what that usually means is dash knobs and pieces and matching window winder knobs, shift knob, heater knobs, etc., so folks can have matching color knobs. We're very new to this area but its a niche we specialize in for making exact reproductions on a smaller scale. The input above is great, especially when its hard for us to know if making things like the later fusebox clear cover is a good thing or not. Alot of times folks send us stuff to duplicate without first discussing it with us, there has to be a market, and generally it should be unavailable, and we should be able to sell 25 maybe over a couple years, that helps to justify the mold investment costs. So, feel free to email us with input, suggestions, etc.
We are closing the shop now to move/expand the shop (and reopen in late August), but we will be working exclusively on new stuff during the shutdown as well and have access to email, etc. We plan to have alot of items available to order in late August. So far we have cast the solid gray shift knob and the floor heater knob with and without the center red dot, exact precision pieces. By next month we will have the molds for the dash pushbuttons and the window winder knobs/collars. Thanks for the continued input.

I have always admired the guy who does all he can to restore properly and when in a bind, comes up with a really dandy solution by fab'n the item himself.... If it is functional and looks nice, have at it. Lets face it, some parts are just gone gone gone... _________________ Life is a web woven by necessity and chance.
