Hi Doc agreed. The reason I posted it the way I did was to see if some can
come forward and positively ID which fender wells those 78 moldings would indeed
fit. Would there be a market for them if they did indeed interchange with say
70-77 Hornet, 78-83 Concord, 79-83 Spirit and 80-88 Eagle perhaps, maybe tiny
bit bigger market, especially with pre-80 owners.
And I understand about interest gauging. I tried to do 25 units of each 5
years ago water jet them, but triangular Rebel Machine ram air baffle under hood
and oval same for 71 SC/360 Hornets after watching a use 71 SC/360 ram air setup
sell for $810 on ebay, figured there is market, so ran ads in all the national
AMC rags, and mixed make magazines, and AMC online sites asking for $125 deposit
(which is how much I was selling them for, shipping to be determined later) and
got about 3 emails, and 2 calls in 1 year so aborted mission, figured could
spend the $3000 on something better like strip club or with bookie.
And the internet is littered with good ideas that don't happen including
(past 10 years ) AMC Unity Club, AMC Council of Clubs, AMC Magazine (gee the guy
spent $10K of his own money on this failed project) a case could be made for
Charity AMX (supposed to be done in 2002) even scab forum and Mitchell's big
failed club, so lots of doom there, you see someone have 'idea' and
everyone thinks it is next best thing to country gravy invented and want to pile
on and say 'count me in!' but when time to put up or shut up or put up deposit,
yikes, as you mention, no one left in room.
The dash pads for Gremlin/Hornet one would think would sell, due to
production of those models and how many dash pads interchange in many years of
those Series. Again, getting deposits or having people put up money to help
offset costs and start up is like pulling hen's teeth. Lots of twitter talk but
no $$$ unfortunately!
So not sure where Marc's project might go with the flairs, after a
year, (like me) he will abort mission and give up due to no interest (emails are
not deposits) or who knows, might have enough deposits to put first stage into
production which would be neat. On other hand hard for some to come up with
$650 for bling when 16.5 million people out of work also, so variety of
factors.
