Josh,
This project is a great idea! I think everything
you mentioned is spot on. These pieces are very difficult to find without
scratches or dents, or being bent or unable to fit due to metal fatigue and
broken tines to secure on the panel. I have received many requests over
the years for sources for good condition pieces. Trying to refurbish the
pattern is virtually impossible without polishing it smooth. I would be very
surprised if there would be any unclaimed pairs of these panels when you launch
the project. Sign me up for a pair now. 99 left...get a pair while
you can! Thanks! 300’ly, Rob Kern

Subject: [Chrysler300] Possible Reproduction for 1957
Chrysler's
Hello Everyone,
Recently I posted this question on
the Forward Look forum and had a good response to it. So now I am posing
it to the group that would probably have the best input and opinion on the
subject.
I am currently looking at
reproducing the aluminum panel found on the door panel, behind the door handle,
on the 1957 Chrysler 300 and New Yorker. First off, I want to make extra
sure that nobody is currently working on this project. If you or someone
you know is working on this, please let me know. Secondly, what do you all
feel the demand would be for these panels? Would 100 pairs seem like
enough or not enough? I have hopes of being able to tool and produce 100
pairs and sell them for around $175 a pair. If anyone has opinions or
information they would like to share on the subject, please let me know.
I greatly appreciate
everyone's help and cooperation on this project.
Thank you,
Josh Mishler
