I JUST SOLD A NOS GRILL

If he needs to use a 67 grill for reproductions I would be willing to loan him mine for the time being.

Just a thought

Keith, I dont know about a time-frame. I do know that it CAN take a while, because, if I think about it, My Dad also sold him a NOS hood ornamet (for 73-79 Trucks--- The one with the horizontal Lions, and red background) 1 and a half years ago! He has just introduced it in his last catalouge.

I dont know how long- maybe a year. His next catalouge will most likely say "COMING SOON" , just like it did with the hood ornament.

Hopefully, since the demand is high, he'll get on the ball and have it in several months.

Thanks

Spartman, I think the original grill gets ruined during the process of making a mold.

Also, he wanted it in the Ford box, no sratches, no dents, and it cant be faded at all.

He was picky. We rode up there (in Charlotte), and he inspected it for like 20mins. He grinned from ear-to-ear. Haha.

I see.

Mine is isn't factory new and has been experienced with the road. Not beat up just old.

Oh well, at least I offered.

Yea.. I wish he would just take some that were faded, just not bent. I have like 3 in my attic. But he won't for some reason.

why would he worry about the box when he was going to make repro grills any way. two things come to mind one hes going to resale it higher than he bought it for. 2 he is going to repro the boxes also and call them nos when they are repros

Man thats the first time I ever heard someone with an old truck say they didnt know about Dennis.

It's okay though. 1970F250, The catalog is GREAT! Pull out your wallet, though.

I dont know what the deal was with him and the box???? Maybe it was just something to prove it was and un-used part, not a re-done old one.

Maybe boxes make him happy.

a fetish?

Post by **FORDification** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 9:33 pm

Probably a combination of that and maybe his wanting to also replicate the factory box for his new pieces?

blue68 · Post by **blue68** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 10:49 pm

Yeah, thats a possibility.
