Ordering would not work without verification and your computer would not be recognized. And yes, I changed the link. :roll:

Guy,

Can you provide a ballpark price for the beautiful three piece front crossmember set you are working on? I won’t hold you to it, just curious and saving more money.

Thanks,

Joe

Good morning people. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are now able to ship 151 parts again. I have a list of people that have requested parts and will start processing orders. Please keep in mind that this will not happen all at once and I'll get parts moving as soon as I can. We have a lot going on here and as most of you know, this is not a 2 man shop and I have other priorities. I'll be reaching out to those that requested parts with a status update. Thank you for your understanding.

Parts update: We've shipped out 8 orders this week and we're working on number 9. Full side panels are back in production. I have a list of people that want them and will contact them in order (oldest inquiry first). Most other parts are in stock but some items getting low. Will also start replenishing those parts. Thanks to all of you who have purchased parts.

We've made adjustments and more tooling since the first run to help aid the production of the side panels. These are ready for spot welding and there's more at weld.

Really makes you appreciate the sheer size and complexity of the dies and presses that were used on the original parts. Picture these panels being stamped from a flat sheet on one hit! I used to make steel deliveries to a place in Bristol, Pa. that had huge presses like that. I don't know exactly what they were making but they were complex shapes and every hit of the press shook the whole block. I can't picture living anywhere near there and yet there were houses a block away!

Interesting some of the NOS parts that show up from time to time. Some of these will be used to reverse engineer and manufacture. Note the front and mid crossmembers!

2nd attempt. Have a few more adjustments to make. I also made some updates to the full side panel program and we'll be running the next round of full sides starting next week.

Any update on these? As soon as I can get my hands on these I can resume work on my A1.

I try to check in on occasions but it looks like it's been a couple of years. I really need to get mine off the rotisserie and the underbody crossmember is the part holding up my progress.
