[QUOTE=Bangkok Dean]I hope to sell them to some of the vendors that cater to the Cobra or Corvette and also sell Hooker headers.
It will be to costly to ship one set only. As soon as I have the Stingray shields done I will post pictures also(about one week). Then I will see if some of the supply houses are interestad in stocking them. Either way I will let the forum members know what is happining.
QUOTE]


I hope you filed for an international patent. Those things look great and could easliy cross over to the trucker market with customized name orders.

Hi

What is your price idea , I mean the price you would sell them to the dealers ?
As their profit is often enormeous, may be somebody could make a group purchase direct from you !
I would even make a trip to Bangkok just to pick them up. ( that's at least what I would tell my better half. )

I think you just found a personalized heat shield market. This make me want to scrap my 69 original sidepipe project and get hookers with your shields of course. You might want to patent the idea before you go to market… those guys will steal your idea and run with it.
