Post a part you would like to see reproduced here! Put 1 part per "response" so we have room to edit the posting with our answer. Also, check to see if the part is already listed before you list it again. If you want to start a topic in the proper "tech" board on reproductions, that is fine.

If you really feel a part is needed by many, test your idea by organizing a 'group buy' in the appropriate 'parts-for sale' forum. PY will be glad to participate by calculating a price and reproducing the part once it has shown a 'reasonable' amount of interest and commitment.

I'd like to see a quality repo '64 GTO hood.


response....
It took the hobby 20 years to produce the 1st Pontiac hood (67-69 FB 400). 68-70 GTO is next. I doubt if we will ever see a 1 year only hood.

A '66 GTO tail light panel (vertical rear of trunk). Finally found one, used, in decent shape and got it for a steal ($350.00). Doesn't seem to be much harder to make than the rear window to trunk piece that PY caries for $80.00. Generally if the bottom of the rear window rusted out, so did the seam between the tail light panel and the trunk floor.

Response...
This project has been attempted several times. The 67 tailpanel will happen 1st. Then we might see the 66.

'67 GTO Grille Mesh or Grille Screens whatever you want to call them They are anodized and are difficult to polish because of all the crimps and recesses.
C'mon Chris, you can do it !

response...
This project has been looked at several times with no luck. Costs would make this item a $300-500 a pair retail item!

How many commitments for orders would it take to get a plant to crank out windshields for 1963 Tempests at a decent price? I understand that a new one can run between $500 to $700. There is a possibility that this could be co-ordinated with the 63 Buick Skylark/Olds Cutlass owners through car club connections, etc.

response....
That is a question for OEM Glass. I think production run would have to exceed 1000 to be feasible.

66 GTO frt fenders?

response;

Probably not going to happen. The 68-69 repro fenders didn't even come close to sales expectations... probably killing it for other GTO fenders.

'66-67 headlight bezels.

response;
This project has been attempted. $30,000 for tooling for LH only! Looks like owners will continued to get theirs rechromed. Buy the RH while you can still get it for reasonable.

The formula steering wheel is needed now; should be reproduced in several original colors such as saddle, buckskin, blue, black and red. Black spoke and gold ones too.
Bill Boyle

response:
Black on Black is available now! PY has some Gold and black spoked wheels getting done in Black, Saddle, Blue and Red. That's it for now.

I agree with Todd,the 73-77 A-bodies are largely ignored. So I'd start with wheel well moldings.

edpete 01-20-2000 10:53 PM

Next I'd like to see Bumber rub strips and interior kits too.

Bob Kazian 01-23-2000 08:06 PM

'65-'67 "GTO" Lucite that goes behind the Dash Grab Bars.
If the lucite itself is nice, it gets damaged taking it off to swap to a nice chrome bezel.

Response;
Bob, another good one, but used ones seem to keep turning up. Technology to make this is available, as it is same type as the sport wheel center insert and the 'pmd' insert for rally II wheels. But look at the price for those little pieces! $35.00 That would make the grab bar well over the price of an excellent used one... One of the key factors in making a repro... it's gotta be cheaper than what's comparably available.

I would like to see 69 gto tail lamps and 66 catalina tail lamp gaskets

response:

Sorry but 69 Tailights will probobly always be a re-chrome orig. situation. 66 Catalina gaskets might be able to get done. We would need originals for a pattern.

Would love to see deluxe door panels for a 1971 Trans Am repro'd. These are impossible to find and when you do everyone wants an arm and a leg for them.

Cobrabill 01-31-2000 11:17 PM
