Homemade chin spoiler looking for some feed back please.

[Frodee]

Made a plug then a mold and my first one is on my car. Thinking I'll sell a few and looking for some opinions on what they would be worth.
Made out of fiberglass using a good quality woven cloth and Polyester resin. They are strong and the first 3 I used bedliner on for protection from rock chips.
This is my 2nd design and the first one I had held up real well after 9,000 miles it is still in good shape.

This spoiler fits 73 and 74 A bodies.

I would say don’t pre-make a lot of them. Make to order. Seems like a personal thing and a limited market

Maybe some pictures a little further away? Looks pretty cool from what I can tell.

How does it attach?

It attaches behind the bumper to the bumper brackets and 3 steel brackets to secure the bottom.
From the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the spoiler is 4 inches.

Yes I redesigned it by making it lower and put the point on the center to match the pointed front end of the car.

Looks awesome! I'd buy one if I had a car with that bumper.

Well done Fred, looks awesome! Some people on here don't realize your previous work/signon so throw some examples up(plane/car etc).
Your quality of work looks like a perfectionist!
$300???

I have a 73 Duster & I would definitely install it. I like it.

I think that $300 price range is where you want to be. That's a nice hand built piece!

Thanks I try to do quality work and yes thinking $300 without the brackets and brackets are easy to make.

Thanks I just made another one today and sold 2 so far. Enjoy making them and gives this old fart something to do.

If you want to seriously sell them, start a sale thread and take orders.

Center console I built with fiberglass.

Some people(you) have an amazing talent! Were born to make "things".
Might sound silly but put some better lighting for pics of the chin spoiler for the ad.
I would also sell complete with brackets.

Are these cast parts layed up with fiberglass cloth?

Thanks Steve. I'm not real good taking pictures but will set the car on the ground and get some better pictures.
Thanks for the feedback.

Hand laid with fiberglass woven cloth. The design was hand built from a plug to a mold to the spoiler. My design not a reproduction of someone else. I'm not a company just an old guy in my garage having fun.

I am very impressed by your work and attention to detail. Those pieces appear to be very well designed and built. If you are making a few bucks at $300.00 each that's decent, but you can't work for free.
I think it looks great but I no longer have a Dart, mine was a 75 so it may not have fit.

Not making much Randy Just enough if I can sell one a week I can stop working in the body shop. I'm tired of working on new cars. Just trying to retire completely and stay home. Thanks for your feedback.
