Jules either Gene Gregory @ Alhambra automotive for a stamped steel cone,...$4500+, or handcorked (like original) from Jack McGauhey at www.wincarfab.com $6000+ either one is a quality piece with minor fitment issues

Looks like Gean has had a $2000 price increase...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130627583083 ($4500 in January)

Another source at $4500 is Rick Fairless - Rick's number is 270-210-2202

He sells:

Pivots - $599 (Pair)
Buckets - $524 (Pair)
Latch Tray - $500
Rad Spt Angle - $90
Hardware Kit - $169 (he said he would knock $70 off the kit if part of a large purchase like nose internals)
Low Head Height Bolts to attach buckets to nose cone - $90 (apparently not part of hardware kit?)

Above items were quoted for a Daytona...

Superbird Nose Cone - $4,500

All prices plus shipping if not picked up at an event like MMW Indy, MMW St Louis, or Mopar Nats...

Hopefully I jotted the prices down right, but get your own quotes for the items you need.

While Ricks stuff looks nice, I haven't seen or heard any feedback, good or bad to list him with Jack's or Gene's stuff which I've used, or seen in person, or had feed back from my own customers using their products,...I know Rick is "new" to the wingcar market....would like to see/hear about some of his stuff

The jack looks pretty nice. Is it a good copy? how much for the jack?

---

The repro jack is not very close. Top saddle is not right at all. If its priced right it would be OK to fill the hole in your trunk.

...it's looks like an aftermarket jack converted, IIRC it's priced at $400,...which ain't too bad for the guy that has nothing, can't mod an aftermarket jack, and doesn't want to pay $750+ for one of Pete Veights jacks, or $$$$$$$ for an original...IIRC Larry O'Donnel was also doing the same mods to aftermarket jacks

As far as the light bucket and piviot in the pic, they "appear" close to correct, just a few tweaks needed here and there, nothing major,....dimension wise?, who knows until you have one in hand to compare/measure.....but it's nice to see some more stuff come to market, at least the Wingcar parts fabricators are more "intune" to user feedback to make corrections to their products, probably due to the small market of users,.... I would like to see pics of his Z bars, nosecones etc
