Our 2008 R&D New Projects are literally up to you!

I want to find out from you guys want you would like to see developed from us in 2008. The floor is open to your suggestions and ideas.

So, what's not out there that should be?
What do you want for your electrical systems?

Switches, Kits, Battery Accessories, Lighting, Relay Kits, Battery Cable Kits, Etc... You name it. We'll bring it to the table.

The floor is yours. What do YOU want this year? Sky's the limit. This year, we're building what YOU want.

Post your ideas here and next week I'm bringing them all to my R&D team to begin the planning process.

Theresa,

I'd like to see fan and fuel pump controllers. I'm using another product, and had some difficulties with them. I'd assume your new product would integrate nicely with your existing harnesses.

I'd also like to see you carry metri-pak connectors.

Also, how about a "Push to Start" kit, and some sort of programmable interface (or dookie) that lets such a start button be as secure as a key.

Oh, and you could help a lot of us custom guys out with a bulkhead connector that supports 50 circuits or so. I'm using the late Mike Browne's mil-spec stuff for that. It would be nice to get such stuff from you guys.

Secure key push button start that bolts into a 67-68 Camaro dash where the ingnition switch was/is. Secure key could be card in your wallet or a fob in pocket with the sensor mounted in/under the drivers seat. Car will not run with the secure key but could have a key to bypass

This could also intigrate with a remote lock/unlock system that works one of two ways with switchable settings. You manualy push the fob buttons to lock/unlock the car or when you approach the car a sensor picks up your secure key or you wand it over an area to unlock the car.

Besides the 2 update kits I know already in the works, I have been pleading for a 68-72 Chevelle Update kit. Since the release of the 64-67 kit, I have been asked a dozen times when this one might be out.

Also a larger availability of correct restoration switches, ie ignition switches, headlight switches, etc. I know some are already available, but not all for even the most popular cars.

Push to start/shutoff switch would be great and is a very hot item right now

Connectors (we've talked about this before, I think, but if they're wanting suggestions...)

It's easy to find new headlamp sockets, but what if one needs - for example - the connector that connects an El Camino body harness to the rear lamp harness, even with pigtails... those are not so easy to find. I believe you've already got them for your restoration kits, so I wouldn't think selling them loose would be a stretch.

A nicely packaged, compact, weatherproof, OE appearing power command center for LSX swaps. Include Weatherpack connectors for all required wiring (coils, fuel, radiator, etc.)

How about a universal LED tail light/turn signal kit, have them where you can order them to specific lengths and widths. I have a 77 Monza and hope to weither buy or build LED conversions for this car.
It has wraparound tailights so being I can source LED replacements for the 194 bulbs but because the reflector cant reflect the light from current LED 1157 replacements it would make them way dark.
If you could make a way for customers to order a custom size/shape and certain specifications like say a turn arrow instead of the whole light blinking brighter. Stuff like that.
