not looking for negative comments but if you like it, what would you be willing to pay for it?

Cool. No idea what they are worth, but I like 'em.

what gauge metal are they?

Specter has them for 320.00. For my desire, I always am happy getting a better deal. Specter is wonderful, but sometimes they charge a premium price.

Long story short is I got pissed at a certain vendor for taking so friggin long to deliver a part they said would take 2 weeks to stamp and 3 days to deliver. It's been 3 months. So I spent 4 days hunting down an overseas supplier and going to use my freq flier miles to cut out the middle man. I'm allowed to check 3 bags for free on delta (with no size or weight limit) and I'm bringing back 2 huge boxes. BUT I saw these and decided why not bring something back to the group here that is relatively small AND therefore share the wealth with anyone who wants them. I haven't gotten a list of prices for anything yet but I'm just gauging folks interest. If the parts are good, I may do more runs since I have a ton of miles and help some people out.
My wife thinks I'm crazy since I flew back with a full firewall cross country as my checked bag. I have no limits or apprehensions in restoring my 2 FJs

Yowza! That's dedication.

Not original and from South America. They are either 16 or 18 gauge.

I imported a bunch from Pakistan once, the good ones I got $195 for and the blems went for $75 as wall art. It wasn't a quick sale either. I don't think you'll get more than $200 a piece for repros. You're probably paying $100 a piece for them.

I'd take a blemished one for wall art, but not a bent or mangled one.

$120 bucks for a powdercoated repro from CCOT without the stamped letters

Landcruiser Specialties has a stamped fiberglass bezel with a gloss white gel coat for $155.

I would love one. How can I get on board?

 

[1971Cruiser]

I'll post the price once I get a quote and then get more firm numbers for ordering. I'm picking these up in person so I can't get too many but I'll try my best
