Nice work Dean! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the great work on a sorely needed part!

[gpguy]

We will be ready for a spring rollout in late March early April for the part.
Economy is shot.......are we crazy? Guess we'll find out.

Ready for Spring!
We are ready to begin production on the 69-70 GP bumper pockets. We have exact plastic match and have proven our design with a plastic prototype ltis very exact except the improved clips to actually keep the pocket attached nicely to the bumper on the sides. This is a non visible but practical inprovement. We expect to have these available for 225. each. Tooling is expensive but the part will be very nice.
Please PM me to reserve one and give us an idea of how many to produce. These will be available through us and fine catalogs like our hosts here.
Price will be same either way. We will make some Pontiac shows and swaps. If this goes well the 71-72 pocket will follow and more.

Excellent!!! Will you be able to post some close-up pictures of the finished product?

[gpguy]

Hey guys, We don't have production peices yet, we are trying to determine initial interest for quantities to make. Here are a few pictures of the prototype made
from the engineering. The actual plastic will be an exact match. Let me know if you want one when produced in early April. Dean

[69gp400]

Here is a 3D rendering of the pocket showing the improved clips.

how goes the production, have they become available?

[gpguy]

Hey There,
Thanks for your inquiry about the pockets.
There have been delays but we are back on track with this project.
They should be available in about 5-6 weeks.

GP, We were very close to making our own reproduction on these when I noticed this topic. We are interested in putting these in our catalog and therefore would purchase a quantity if you can wholesale them. PM me the details and timing for these.

[gpguy]

We are still in the game and after several delays will be cutting tooling and have parts for late July.(reluctant to give exact dates as there still may be delays if I am not satisfied with results) I am glad we are taking the extra time and effort to get a nice part.
This will be the first part for us and we got "Authorized GM Reproduction Part" status on this and will putting the part # on it. PM sent to Ccass at perf. years

[gpguy]

Hey guys,
We are finally cutting tooling on these pockets! Hard to beleive but true.
We are trying to make the Nationals in Ohio but not sure if we will have parts.
Should make the GP Reunion on Pontiac Mich. though. Long road but see the
finish line, Will keep you posted.

Hi Dean,

A few months ago, I mentioned my interest in the rear bumper filler for my 1972 Grand Prix from the '69-72 Yahoo group.

I'm still in.

[joegpho]
