I just wanted to update everyone that I am reproducing the 1970 Rear Bumper Buick Plate. I just recieved my GSXtra and Lassester indicates that this item is on his radar to reproduce. Does anyone have Lasseter's email address Thanks
What he said............ keep us posted. I got the feeling Richard was just throwing out possibilities for future projects.....
name plates Rich good luck on your project. They can be made VERY reasonable. Go ahead with it. Buicfrank
Thankyou everyone for your feedback. This piece will be manufactured the same way as the original and will be a high quality or like quality to an original NOS piece. Until everything is complete, than price per unit will be calculated. Thanks Rich Johns
The answwer is no way. It is a very complicated piece to do with two outer rings , overall dihedral , and the letters were separately shot through the base. Then you have painting , packaging, and licensing to GM since "Buick "is on it. One major vendor considering it was coming in at $300.00 end point. Finally he deserves to make some profit for taking the risk of the up front capital. If John can do it for that or less we are lucky. I have seen them go for as much as $700-800.
Hi MarK I will probabaly have to make a sizeable run 300 or more initially,but again those details will be comming soon. I will keep everyone posted in this Reproduction section Thanks Richard Johns
