Preliminary figuring is that we should be able to sell them in the range people are comfortable with. How many years & body styles would these work on? Obviously, the more the better as far as production amounts and pricing.
Gonna try to keep it under $350/set, ready to bolt on, for dead-accurate parts; we have a set of originals.
I appreciate the supportive replies; I've been bent-over myself on a few occasions, and I think there's a market for good stuff. Hopefully we can afford to take the risks, pay for the tooling & production & selling costs, and make a couple bucks to pay for our time, while offering parts at reasonable prices. So far, our racecar-tool business is still too tight money-wise...




Way to step up, Steve. Speaking of overpriced parts, I'd like to see some al/steel max wedge and Hemi scoops for about $600. 3D modeling AND hydro-forming now makes this economically possible. There's no reason, other than currently being hand made and a little greed, that these scoops should be priced @ $1400.

Another part in high demand is Max Wedge oil pans. They're going for $2000 when you can find them; That's ridiculous.

3D modeling & Hydroforming only pencil out for the really big guys and big production runs; I have to wonder how many stock MW pans could possibly be needed.

Now buy some tools you guys, so I can feed the mule!

Lots of 440 powered "max wedge" clones out there and most of them are running aftermarket pans. I've got a deep sump 8qt. and it's looking way too low for my tastes....
