ARCHIVE Even more 60 Series love...Wits' End Clamshell Upgrade

[FJ60Seth]

A way to attach a RAM Mount would make this a no brained for me. It could even be 2 holes, shipped with rubber plugs.

Joey...I like your stuff and have purchased many of your “one-off” intelligently designed products. Just one question...when you refer to “60 Series” are you including the years 1980 thru 1990?

Were the 60 shells identical to 62 shells? If yes, count me in. My 62 shell has been broken as long as I've had the truck, and I'd love a good solid replacement.

Still planning on the Gentex mirror mount and fire bottle mount too.

If they have the means to mod their hazard switch (for whatever reason) then they can use the same file to cut a hole in this new clamshell that they used in their old one.

I'm disappointed, because that missing material would bug the s*** out of me, whether I had the mod or not. Was looking forward to purchasing this.

I would have to agree. Finished product should be designed around stock fit, finish and look. If you want to mod it and cut holes etc let the purchasers do that. I'd guess more buyers would want it stock vs modded for cutout

Is this something you make stamping dies for? Or is it a waterjet/laser pieces out of sheet and then manually fold into shape?

 

[Spook50]

Waiting with baited breath for this one to come to fruition. My plastic one is held together with duct tape that is falling apart, and now the hole that was cut in the side for my cruise control lever is cracking and getting way loose.

Wish new plastic ones were available in the meantime, but I'll hold out for the Wits' End clamshell.

Edit: Oh wait they are....

 

[ProwlerDriver]

Ohhhhhh man! Finally! I’m 100% in on this

 

[Spike Strip]

Is there a pre-order on this ?

 

[ProwlerDriver]

any updates?

 

[NLXTACY]

any updates?

Not currently. I need to put out more fires before I can jump back on this.

 

[Spook50]

Hey Joey, is this project still on the back burner, or has it been 86'd? Sure hope we get to see one eventually. I just ordered a new OEM plastic clamshell but REALLY want a metal one for my 62!

 

[NLXTACY]

Definitely not 86’d. Too close to being done to trash it now

 

[ProwlerDriver]

Thank god! Just got my glove box insert back from the powder coater (had to organize a drop like I was buying drugs because apparently powder coat is not "essential") and I love it. I am first in line for the shell

I'm right up there too. Got some money set aside so I DON'T spend it on something else.

 

[Idaho Savage]

Yup, you could probably count me in. Do you have a price yet?

 

[cruiser enthuiser]

I’m in for a clamshell.

Hey @NLXTACY, this still in the works or on the back burner for now? I know you've had a lot more (far more) important stuff to take care of, so was just curious. Still a definite purchase for me if they come to fruition!

The mayhem of the past 18months has all but killed this.

Certainly hope things overall have been okay. I've been away from FB for quite a while so haven't seen if you've had any updates there. Praying for you brother.

Naw things are MUCH better.
