Is that 900-1000 Euro for just the horns or the entire bumper? If just the horns or bananas, you should probably seek another tool and die maker.

I know I'd go for a set, and probably a Kamerad building a KdrKafer. But not at $1350-1500 per pair of bananas, primer finished.

First you have to figure how many pre-49's are out there? A few hundred? Then guess how many need bumpres? maybe 1/2 of them or so? Then figure how many of these cars in in "active" restoration? maybe 10-20? Then figure how many of these people can you market and would buy your product rather an make their own or keep searching for originals, etc. ? My guess is it's a few, I think you can sell a "few sets".. just my opinion.

I did not see parts from TOM but he did my chrome work for my oval and I was verry happy with it. And verry fast to. Thumbe up. Idea
I can asure you he is relieble and honnest.
I am sure the quality he deliverd on my parts will be projected also on the parts he makes. If you look at the website you find nice parts for the oldest cars.

Greetings Peter

Hi Tom,

Thanks to someone with keener eyes than me here in the UK who spotted this thread you now have another interested customer for a set. These are for my '46. It is by no means ready for bumpers yet but will need them eventually!

If Tomasz makes them, you know they will be nice! He does nice work. I know a few people that would need them, just not soon I think. I have original blades and horns for my car, so I'm ok.
