New cuda door panels!

[peterro]

Thanks Dave,

So that's about a week or two for the samples. If they look good, what would a ball park time frame be for real stock? Also, what do you think the price will be? I've built up some money for parts and want to make sure I leave enough aside.

Does anyone know if any dealer/distributer will have stock at the Nationals? I'm looking to buy white door and rear panels for a Cuda there.

We should have inventory well before the nat's. I am doing free shipping on orders to the lower 48. Sorry canadians. If your going to pick them up there Metro will be set up and should have them their as well.  Balck White Red blue, and I thing an few green, CUDA panels only, Challengers he is awaiting test samples.

[peterro]

Ball-park pricing? If the samples are good, do you have a rough turn-around timing to be able to sell for the Challenger?

[mopardave]

door panels in black are 525.00 in color are 20.00 more

[peterro]

Cool thanks. Is white a color? Is that a pair or each and what about rear panels?

['Cuda Hunter]

I believe that if you go back a few pages Dave mentioned that the rear panels are not available now.  I could be wrong but I think this price is just for the fronts and no rears available. 
  I am very glad these are out now.   Thanks Dave.

Those look pretty nice. Are there any plans for rear panels?

Ever wonder why it's so hard to reproduce in 2010 what was made by the lowest bidder in 1970? 
I bought the current repops and they are not very good.

What is the name of the company that makes them?

FYI...doesn't look like they fixed the issues with the drilled mounting holes being too large/irregular shaped......pay close attention to this area before buying.

i havent looked at the ones that came in, an OE shoulder screw still works , BUT these regardless of the hole size these are 100% better than the palco or accuforms.

You should probably look then!  On several I saw the holes are so big the OE screw will go right through it....the top, front hole especially.  This was an identified issue with the "test" panels so it's disappointing that the production panels weren't fixed.  How hard can it be to drill a small hole in plastic?  I suggested to metro during the test phase not to have the holes drilled so they could be matched drilled on installation. That would have been the smart thing to do in my opinion because in addition to the holes being too big it's very possible that across the board the holes may not line up with everyones door.  But I do agree that even with this it is a much, much, much better panel than the Accoform and Palco panels.  I think Metro and it's distributors are gonna have alot of problems/complaints about the holes though.

So, 7d,  Have you seen and touched the new test panels or got a pair of the new panels that are just now available?
