He generally sells through places like CCOT or others for the FJ40 stuff (which has a market many times larger than the FJ55 or FJ45LV). With the FJ55 unless we all get together and do a group order it probably won't happen. I'd like to see him make up things like the front fenders and rear quarters as I'll likely need them myself at some point in the future. Chances are this won't happen more than once.
Same thing happening with the FJ45LV. They are few and far between. I need some sheet metal as do others and since I'm nearest I went down to beg him to make them and now I need to see how many can be sold so we can keep the prices within the realm of reason.
The other issue is that many in the 'Cruiser community say they want the parts until the time comes to pay up. That is a source of immense frustration for anyone making the parts. This way he is removed from that and I don't mind ragging on folks to pay up for group orders or loose out.
