Price Drop- Frame Savers
Looks like I need to drop the price on these to help cash flow for a little while. I'll knock off $20 making them $59.95. That's the cheapest I've ever had them. I don't know how long I can afford to keep them at this price , but we'll see what happens. By the time I buy 4 bearings, 2 urethane wheels, grade 8 bolts and the steel, they cost me over $25 in materials. Not to mention saw blades, paint, drill bits, and general overhead... etc. And then the time to make them. But I have about $1000 in wheels etc that I'd really like to recoup. Just a short term adjustment to help out. Order at the regular price as I'm not going to change the website pricing or mall pricing for this. You'll get the discount just by mentioning it in the "comments" box. :cheers:

Got a couple of e mails about the rocker rails. I guess I'll do the same deal on those. I don't have nearly as much material on hand for those, though.

Re: Price Drop- Frame Savers (fcjmfs)
It's just that I had to buy 200 wheels in order to get them at all. That's a lot of money. I'd just like to recoupe some of it quickly. Seems that everyone is much more price concious these days, including myself.
That other guy is just making a knockoff. It's really not a problem. His are rubber wheels, standard hardware etc. Mine are tough urethane wheels, ABEC5 bearings, grade 8 bolts etc. The whole idea is that these things take a beating instead of the car. These will hold up a whole lot longer and at this price are a Bargain! I've never heard ANY negatives on having these on a car.

Re: Price Drop- Frame Savers (Andy@AandACorvette)
Andy, $20 off both the rails and the frame savers sounds good. Is it necessary to weld the frame savers or will they be okay without welding?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Price Drop- Frame Savers (ZO6Bill)
The Frame Savers mount to the front skid bars and stop them from hitting the ground. When you come out of a steep driveway etc. Instead of a hard crunch and grind, you just get a small thump and roll. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the car as well as your nerves. The Rocker Rails mount just inboard of your rocker panels. They are secured to the steel frame with stainless screws. They are contoured to fit the frame and countersunk on the back side to clear factory rivet heads and screw heads. They will hit the ground before the fiberlass bodywork when going over a high crest or speed bump. Again, saving the car and nerves. An added benefit is that you can put a floor jack or stands anywhere along the rail now. A lot easier than messing with those pucks. The rails only protrude below the body by about 1/8" and weigh only 4lbs. Both are a "must have."
Shipping is $10 for the rails only or $15 for the Combo. They are shipped in PVC tubes . Thanks,ANDY

Re: Price Drop- Frame Savers (C5LOU)
I had Bigtoe change the prices in the Mall and add a few new items. Some new headers ,X-Pipe , hoods, spoilers etc. They should be in there today.
