Matt, we are considering a header for the 61 / 63 T-Birds! We need 25 people to step up for us to iniate the build. More on this later but "you" can spread the rumor and have people call us!!

MORE Info:
Matt, do the best you can. I would have to have an actual car on the hoist to finish a feasibility test but it will take in the neighborhood of 25-30 customers to commit to the project. The way we do this is to confirm the # of interested customers. Then, create an actual final price of the finished parts. ( This is going to be around $400 to $450 for a set) in HD 16 gage, one piece design with ball and socket collectors in our Std. nickel chrome. Ceramic will add another $200 to 225 a set. We will not build a low grade product and the predictability of future sales numbers is very tough. Up till recently, T-Bird guys were such pure restoration people that there was "NO" interest in headers. With a high quality product, we have managed to make some in roads into the group. We will also guarantee delivery at a particular date once we take deposits on a new project.
Regards,
Stan Johnson F.P.A.
