    If you could ask Chrysler to remanufacture one part- What would it be?

    If you could ask Chrysler  to remanufacture one part- What  would it be?
     
     :stirpot:

    Just curious about what you think. I know that most of you have been down the restoration road once, if not several times over, and most of you have  a few items at the top of a "most wanted" list. I know I do...

    Here's your chance to lay it down. Honest suggestions, no gripes, no BS,  just an authentic Chrysler part.


    What would you Choose? :clueless:
    Mods-  please keep this up as a sticky, so everyone can throw in... :bigsmile:

    In addition to that....

    The rear sail panels, bucket / bench seat backs, SE carpet strips with reflectors, a-pillar trim & the kick panels too.

    The sad thing is that most parts Chrysler takes on are not affordable.
    (look at the 340 heat shields - ack!  :2cents: )

    If they can keep the prices low they can count on a larger sales volume.

    It would be hard to limit this to just one part can we throw in different things as we think of them?   :bigsmile:

    Bodies are in the works by an oufit in Canada if the rumors turn out to be true.

    Watch all the re-body guys / VIN swap crowd go nuts when / if that happens........

    If a whole car is bolted together, does that count as one part?  :bananasmi

    Easy scooter the sky wont fall . every single part will have a flaw sharp edges poor stamping no cowl or core stamps i could go on but wont. it would take a good team of talented folks to pull off a  passable fake or rebody .the cars just arnt valuable enough to take the risk .to many involved and cost vs return its just common sense ,a few might try but will eventualy get caught .  ;)

    Just one part? How about any 1971 only part, being as they only make about 5 of the many 71 only pieces. :swear:
