Reproduction Sheet Metal for 'A' Bodies

Peyote said

My paint and body guy is a damn good at sheet metal and doesn't cut corners. When he makes my trunk extensions I might be able to convince him to make a few more sets for you guys for 66 darts and whatever other year and model that design would fit.

Not sayin it's gonna be cheap, but how much would you guys be willing to pay for a set?

I have thought about that myself. $100 a side would be great if they could be mas produced but body shops nowdays get $75-100/hour in my area. You can't spend much time making them. Metal stamping dies cost around $10 grand a pair and you would need 2 pair of dies. I bought a pair of early A body extensions from a member here. They were Valiant parts, too short and the ends were shaped differently. There seems to be a lot of early A guys building cars. The extensions would probably sell if someone would pull the trigger. Everybody needs them.
