Whatever happened to Topnault? (1 Viewer)

[Wasatch Jay]

It seems it wasn't all that long ago they were going to be THE aftermarket supplier of steel reproduction body parts. They seemed to have made a sizable investment, and also seemed to be trying to iron out the bugs to produce parts of reasonable quality.

But I haven't seem any reference to them in a while.... What happened?

They posted a bunch of bodies on one of the 40 FB pages today.

Seems like the head person coordinating the 40 series stuff and the US market left the company. A few members purchased some of the early offerings and the larger items (hood, tub) had a lot of fitment and quality issues. I believe one of the vendors used their front doors without too much of a hassle. I did see a post from them on FB as well advertising 40 parts again saying they updated everything.

I'm hoping they add a soft top frame to the offerings.

I see they are now offering correct and incorrect bezel orientations

Thanks for all the replies.

I hope they are successful at fixing the quality/fitment issues and can offer a great product at a decent price.

period correct style windshield frame and doors would be nice for the "68" version as they call it
