Rear Quater Panel Reproduction work under way

[cruiser_guy]

It sounds like we have four folks interested!

Let's get #5 and make this real!! PM me. I've PM'd a bunch of folks who may be interested with my phone number and e-mail so get back to me ASAP. I'm sure if this goes ahead there will not be enough for a second run so don't delay!!

If anyone is close to a MAJOR airport and can handle receiving a group order let me know. I've got one person willing but not near a major airport. We'll also need to reship them to each person needing these. Does anyone want to be the guy handling payment or should I do that?

Eshan, can you confirm your pricing and also availability of the sill peice as well as payment info? If you need info on the sill piece just let me know. I'm ready, willing, and able!!

I believe he was making these out of 18 ga. I'd prefer 16 ga. if that is at all possible though I know it's tougher to make. I think the original bodies of the LV were 14 ga.

Mike is the bezel with "Land Cruiser" stamped in an OEM period correct thing and our trucks are just missing those or what?

 

[3_puppies]

the bezels were on '63 and maybe some '64 rigs.

big coolness factor.

I've got one original from a '63 40 I had years ago.

What, Helena isn't a major airport?? LOL

Eshan, check out posts #43, 44, 50, 51, 52 and 68 in this thread for some sill pictures. If you need dimensions or any other views just let me know! As best I can tell it is two separate pieces spot welded together at the lower lip.

I have about 1/2 the spot welds drilled out on mine already so if you want I'll gladly continue to remove it and then I can give you cross sections and everything if you want. Just let me know.

I'll need your e-mail to send higher resolution photos. I can even to a cad drawing if you want!

 

[mderrick]

i just want one for the coolness..and also my lv is not 14G i wish it was the it wouldn't be rotten and falling apart oh well that why i have a welder and a garage right? hopefully these are at least 16 i would like 14 but i know that they would be hard as hell it make..

on the bezel note i have an uncle in Montana he could pick up the bezel for me... would you be interested in selling?

 

[mderrick]

also was a final height desided on theses? i just read about it earlier in the thread.

Not clear! Are you in on buying a set should this progress or not? Sill too? What about bezel? PM me your contact information if you are and I'll contact you once we have enough folks. It will be payment BEFORE we submit an order to Eshan so if we get enough folks expect a call for cash before long.

As for final height, I'd prefer higher rather than lower.

Right now I have myself and 3-puppies as confirmed and willing to pony up the cash should this move ahead. To add your name to the list let me know.

i can't see a price on here do we know the damage?

Eshan gave us a quote way back of $150 a side which is $300 for the set of rear quarters. Sill and bezel are not yet priced that I know of.

 

[merbesfield]

I am good for the $300.00 if it is going to be produced and shipped in a reasonable amount of time. What say you Eshan? Also, I am willing to consider air shipping if not to expensive. These things could not weigh too much.

 

[cruiser_guy]

OK, three definites, me, 3-puppies and merbesfield, two more needed to make this happen.

I think that Eshan had planned for air shipping in the price (at least that's what he had last time).

 

[mderrick]

i'll go for one, set i'll need them some time.

 

[cruiser_guy]

OK, that's 4 now! Just one more and I'll be asking you for your commitment in "greenbacks" so we can get Eshan in motion!

Come on FJ45LV owners, you KNOW you want this!?! This is likely your one and ONLY chance so step right up!

Eshan, PM me you contact info so we can get this in motion when the next guy jumps in the ring.

 

[cruiser_guy]

lLike I said earlier, this is likely your ONLY chance to get these. Merbesfeild and I both need them now and we'll likely go on our own if it doesn't fly this time which means a group buy in a years time will be even more difficult than it is now!

 

[Mikesta]

i'll go for one, set i'll need them some time.

Are you talking for Pacino? Your kidding right?

Im not speaking for everyone, granted these are better than nothing.... but I personally don't like how these came out.

Awfully hard to tell the quality from a online photo! I'll assume the quality is up to what other folks have received. I really can't do much else. I can say that if the quality is not there I won't be buying other bits from Eshan and I'd assume he knows that.

Come on LV owners, step up and make this happen!!

What was the issue with the quality? Please let me know and I will take measures to improve.
Thanks

You are right. No compromise on quality.
