Rare Body Panals made eg TA22 Wings

[Alan Duncan]

I e-mailed this chap about TA22 wings, he got back and told me he can make any panels, if he gets a panel to copy.

I will phone him to find out more on Monday,But what I would like to know is how meny would want a TA22 wing and how much would you pay for Steel Wing.

I would think a one off wing would be ££££, but If he was to make lots then It would be down to the price of Ford wings i would think.

TA22 , TA30/RA28 same Panel are very rare no one makes them world wide that i know off,So he would have a market, but i would need to hit him with (How meny) to bring the Price Down

i am sure we vcould take a load even to resell, dont need any as have new 22/23 wings in stock, but most dont, would take 4 of each , pay up to £100 per wing , i have new unused patterns, if he needs them, would he make door skins ?

Regards

Malcolm.

would this guy make a bonnet for a ta27 and door skin

[ned28gt]

i agree , i would take 4 of each (28) if he could do them, i also have new doors that he could copy if it was in the next 3 months, (should be fitted by then), this man could become busy!!

[ned28gt]

i spoke to the same company about a year ago and the price he quoted me then worked out at over £300 per wing and that was for 100 of them, i hope things have changed alot since then.

[Alan Duncan]

I would think he would tell you where to stick your ( Up to £100 )
You would not even get a ford panel for that, I would tend to think as Ned said about £300, would like to think i could get it just a wee bit cheaper.

A Bonnet, had a talk with harvey and he reckons about £1,000
I would think Arches would be no bad as there not much in them

[ned28gt]

on a similar subject, i had a quote for remoulding rear GT badges or any plastic badge off a 28 and the prices were Qty 100 off £2.33 each

Tooling Cost £1375.00 one off payment + vat and that included chrome and colour

It costs tens of thousands to make a hard tool to press production level panels . You can also make soft tools to do the same job for small batches as you would for proto type cars but still very expensive.
But it does not end there a lot of panels need to be hit twice if they have deep swage lines etc. The presses to produce a panel as large as bonnet for example are the size of a house.
You can get a close to panel and then get a metal finisher to complete the job again not cheap.

there is a guy here in the states named bob grant of grant customs. his info can be found anywhere associated with the minitruckin world. this guy can make any type panel. even though he does mostly minitruckin items, im sure he can accomidate to any type panel for any vehicle. his work has even been seen on street customs (west coast customs)...

I can not tell you anything about making steel body parts like fenders, hoods, etc. I think that it would be very expensive ($1000 and up per panel) in low volumes. Panels like these require high tooling costs so you have to make 1000 or more to spread the tooling costs.

My experience in making parts is mostly for the RT4#/5# Corona series and is mostly in having the rubber parts reproduced & the typical die cost is $350 and typical extrusion run is 2000 ft. So you can always count on a bill for $1000 to $2000 even if you only need 100 ft or what ever.

I did have the heater valve casting reproduced using the temporary mold method (good for only 25 or so pieces), and they were towards $100 each in zinc.

The bottom line is that It is not cheap to have parts reproduced, and because of the price to recover your costs over say half the number that you had made, is high, it take years to recover the initial cost, if ever. Carlyn
