As many of you may know, I am working with Wayne Herz to try and make some parts available for H bodies. We have been offering mostly Vega parts such as side markers, 71-73 turn signal lenses and gaskets, taillight gaskets for both the 71-72 and the elusive 73 taillight gasket. We also have the rubber hood bumper kit including the impossible to find side fender bumpers. These go along with the many parts that I have personally tried to offer more for the Monza guys such as roof rail seals, glass run, cowl seal, hatch seal, window sweeps, hinge pin/bushing kit, hatch pins, hood bumper kit as well as just a lot of those little hard to find parts. I have been thinking about what else we could use and one of the parts that I know have always been hard to find are the front turn signal assemblies for the 4 headlight Monza, Skyhawk and Starfire. So, I have discussed this with Wayne and we are going to give them a try and see what we can do. If this project works out we will make them available in both clear and amber lenses for the different models. However, this is a pretty big endeavor since these differ quite a bit from the Vega lense. The Monza ones are a complete assembly including the housing and the lense bonded together vs the simple Vega screw on lense. The other major difference is the Monza requires a chrome finish on the interior of the housing which makes the entire process more complicated and costly. I have been working on two assemblies for Wayne to use as molds and have been trying to perfect them as much as possible before I send them to him. Here is where all of you come in, we are trying to determine how much SERIOUS interest there would be in making these front turn signals. Is this something a lot people would be interested in? It's a big commitment to make these and to be honest if there is not enough interest it may not happen. If anyone is not aware, the side markers and lenses for Vega are absolutely beautiful, Wayne is a perfectionist and I would not be working with him if he wasn't. So, the question is, who would be interested in new front turn signal lense assemblies for the 4 headlight Monza, Skyhawk and Starfire's? Unfortunately I do not have a cost yet, I know it's hard to answer without knowing the cost but we just don't know yet. The Vega ones are $150pr, these would surely be a bit more but we are trying to keep them reasonable but just understand the process to make the housing with the chrome finish (not just painted silver) and lense and assemble them is what is required to make a quality part. So let me know your thoughts so we can determine if this is a "go" or not.
