I’m thinking of making the following part for my truck. Would any of you be interested in these parts if I make them? All would be of fiberglass except the bed, “should be easy to make and I know some people would like to have new one.” Give me some ideas on fair prices you would be willing to pay. I will let you know after I do some research and figure what it will cost me to make.

1. Front spoiler
2. Fender flairs
3. Side skirts
4. Stepside fenders
5. Stepside bed
6. Stepside roll pan
7. Hard tonue covers
8. Any other ideas let me know

Hey i was woundering could you make front fenders w/ built in flares? kind of like the kind they put on pre-runners, for those of us who are thinking about turning our LUV's into pre-runners( i.e. ME!!!!)

fenders will or should not be a problem, doors are going to be difficult to make not imposable and probably expensive but definitely good for the racers unless the racers only want outside skins with a light frame then that will be easy to do and save lots of weight

A freind and I tried making a front valance for the better part of a year and could just not get it right. We get the basic form but couldnt get the finish smooth enough. I thought it would be easy as he had made some stuff before for vettes. Hope you have better luck than we did. And I vote for front valance and fenders w/o flares.

What he said, and fenders. For those looking for hoods, you can go here http://www.up22.com/amx68.htm , they have stock and ones with cowls, also they have a front bumper.

I third the tonneau cover!! If the would be flush inside the rail style, I would be all over that. I have trying to figure out how to build (and afford) how to do a flush hinged aluminum one.

Well I talked to my friend today and he said the first thing he will show me how to make is a front spoiler, there are the simplest to learn on, He said they should sell for about $65 plus shipping. What do you guys and gals think?
