Vendors Rant

We like G bodies ourselves, have a couple in our stable. Before I reply, I am familair with your car John and know from the deposits you made into my account how much you have spent! I also know how much we spent on Michael's Monte Carlo, like Bill Howell, WAY to much!



Problem with the G Body crowd is most are VERY budget orientated. For example, we built the flares for Michael's Monte Carlo and offered them for $499, to say we got a negative response, NOT over the design, but over the price would be a huge understatement. There were no big brake kits for these cars, We designed a Wilwood 13" (6) piston kit, offered it for the same cost as all other Wilwood (6) piston kits.......Crickets! Not one single replay. And this was in the Monte world.

True it was 4 or 5 years ago we made a stab at that market, but as a general rule the people I meet doing G bodies have very limited budgets. So it makes it extremely difficult to gear up and produce $500 flares, $1900 brake kits, $700 hinges, $1000 CF hoods.

We are going to put Michael's Monte Carlo up for sale one day. We conservatively have at least $60k in it, we will ask HALF, I bet he owns it a long time.

BTW, I threw away the $2500 molds for the flares a couple weeks ago! Needed the space!
