Hi everyone,
I'm still busy with work and helping parents so not as much time for my Jag projects as I would like.
I've polished out the new urethane lenses which had the stress marks that the mold captured from the originals. I'm now going to make another set of molds so the new parts don't all require wet-sanding & polishing to be nice !
As far as pricing, what does everyone think about $50 a set for the B-pillar lenses ( including free shipping in US ) ? Mainly due to the time involved as well as resin & electricity bill for oven !
I made a list of everyone who is interested so far and plan on contacting you as I get the parts made ( no money until I'm ready to ship ). Hopefully 1 or 2 sets per week so it might take awhile, but I'll get them done.
Thanks for the interest, I'll post more pics this week
Cheers !
Brian
Good price, and I would like a set please (B and rear), but make mine last so everyone else gets theirs first ... I'm only buying them as spares and to support the project. Great work, Brian!
Hi,
Here are pictures of the assembled lenses next to the old "orange" ones, these have a set of recycled original base trim pieces riveted on. When viewed from the back the clear lens does not fit completely flush with the base just like on the originals. I might try to make new "modified" base parts that fit better for my production models. When installed you can't see this "close enough" fitment issue but I'm OCD on things like this !
Old & new Yet another "interesting engineering feature" !
First set is going to Metalbasher / Ken who inspired me to start this project while I was searching U-pull yards trying to find a good set for him !
I then realized it was like trying to find a unicorn with grey spots named Ralph !
Cheers,
Brian
I'll get in touch with everyone who is interested as I get sets made so please be patient.
