Dave, are those volumes only YOUR stock or all that's sold and left out of Metro's complete inventory?

I've seen Metro panels offered from other distributers like Herb's for example.

Just placed my order with Roseville for a complete set in white. They're hoping for them to be in in April...

I do not know what the other vendors have bought or sold, All i know is that of the 80k in panels i bought. that absorbed a good portion of the initial inventory that metro had. and wiped out certain colors, you will have to let me know what you want and i can tell you then.

FYI for us 'vert owners (taken from Metro's post on Moparts):

Hello fellow E-Body fanatics,

We have been in extensive talks with our plastics manufacturing partner, and have ironed out the details on getting the convertible panels into your hands.
We have also worked out a deal to bring ALL panel colors to the market. Yes, that means you will be able to get your panels in the currently offered Black, Red, White, and Blue along with the Green, Tan, and Burnt Orange shades you have been asking for.

In order to get these made at this time we will need to pre-sell 100 Cuda and 100 Challenger Convertible Rear Panels sets. This means real orders with money backing them.

A Group Buy will be setup to start on April 1, 2012, to run through June 30, 2012.
We will be accepting credit card information and personal checks during this timeframe. No cards will be processed, or checks deposited until the 100 Cuda and 100 Challenger set minimums are reached.
Once the minimum number of orders has been reached production on the new panels will begin. There should be a three to six month turnaround on the panels at that point.
If the minimum quantities are not meet during this time frame all credit card information and any checks received will be destroyed. We would then hold off on the panels, and try again at a later time.


1970-74 Cuda/Challenger Rear Convertible Panel Group Buy Details:
Black Rear Convertible Panel Sets - $750
For any other color add $150 for a total of $900 per set
Shipping is FREE in the Continental US, and $45 (per set) for anywhere else.

Metro Parts Company
2118 Broxton Road

The item pricing listed above will only be good during the Group-Buy period.
The retail base price on the rear convertible panels after the initial group-buy will be set at $850 plus shipping.

we will see who steps up, Usually only  20 or 30% of actual people wanting to do a buy when the product is in pre sell mode or just comes out, I have seen this in so many cases over the years. Everyone wants but when it comes time to buy you hear crickets.
but shouldnt be hard to do with over 9000 vert being made 70 to 71

 In the next run, is there any way to get (hard top) door panels without the pre-drilled holes for inserts? And in Tan?

Sent my check to Metro today for the Cuda vert rear panels. Come on guys don't let this chance to get new rear panels from Metro slip away!   

[vert]

Convertable rear panels are the LH & RH rear panels only?  Nothing else?

That's right.  Doors are separate and are the same, regardless if coupe or convert.

the other colors mentioned will be available later this summer to my under standing. As for changing the tooling for no holes i do not see that happening.

[mopardave]

out of all of the members on the other forum that said if the panels were available they would buy, well currently there is on 11 orders standing at metro, FAR CRY from the 200, i know we cannot absorb the balance. of the 35 who listed 22  are cuda and 20 are challengers.
but sill thats like 189 more sets to go for this to become a reality,

[cuda2002]

Does anyone know if the rear convertible door panels were made?
