    Well, I'm almost there... LWB fog light horn grills.

    11 months and counting.... Can't believe it's taken this long. I've been reticent to post pics of the progress, but I feel finally comfortable with where we are. Here's a picture of the raw prototypes I pickup up last week. I had a meeting with my mold makers this morning and we reviewed the fit details that need to be made, and some changes on one slat on each side. It's great working with these old school tool and die guys and surrounded by the old machinery. It's an immense amount of work to do mold correction, fortunately there's not much that is needed. This is a pair that's not had the flashing removed, but as you can see we are very close.

    I've done test fitting on a number of cars, and that's the part that's causing the headache's with the SWB version. These LWB fit great... thank goodness, I don't think I could go another round of making another mold.

    These will be about a month at this point. I'm going out of the country for about 2 weeks, and then I need to get them finished pieces to the plater... maybe 5 weeks.

    Thanks for the patience! SWB should follow about 8 weeks from now, as they are little further behind in the process.

    SWB bumper end caps on their way to me as we speak.

    cheers,
    Eric
