Gary from G-Series 71Wingedcars said something to the effect on www.roadrunnernest.com last Dec he has front and rear valences and they were good. He was also looking at dutch panel, trunk floor,and extension were good to go from his post. Quarters are due shortly for final fit. This from Dec 08. I take it Gary has some connection with AMD for final fitment clearance.

Yes you do have a point there since they're going to cost around $700 for one quarter. I would have thought that as popular as the B bodies are they would have re-popped those a long time ago when Barret Jackson and Overhaulin cause the public to think their cars were gold. Now, for example, people are trying to sell Dodge Darts with slant 318's for almost 6 to 7k. The reason I say that is because I was going to buy a 69' Dart for 5k that was in rough shape before i got lucky with my 71' RR find. And I only paid 7500 for my RR that has way more rare options than that Dart. Darts were never that much back in the 90's. Now with the economy sinking in a rut, who knows what could happen. I just found out the other day Crane Cams shut down, so my concern is if the status of the economy is going to put a major drawback on the production date for these parts.

Lets hope since the R&D is done that they stamp a few hundred at least. They won't recover any investment if they don't sell any.
It seems they are very close to having them ready to go.

i had a ""slant 318"" once when i did a "hillybilly" launch,and the motor mount broke,lol.
ie; wikapedia says; hillybilly launch =consists of rev'ing the engine to valve float..for awhile,and sidestepping the clutch..and repeat until satisfactory results are found.
