NEW Company Needs Opinions Please,
Hello Everyone,
Brian here with Kitcarstogo, I've been purchasing my door hinges from IWC and we have been installing them into the 1 by 1 frame that supports the body. I've noticed the positioning has to be so precise or else the Doors want to scrub as they open. In some incedents the hood/trunk also. I've noticed so many other factories hand lay the mounting brackets into the body. Is this why they do that? Does that eliminate the too close fitting issue. It just seems that the hinges (Cold rolled steele resembling a half loop) would fit better if mounted almost level with the object they are lifting, "Correct"? Any help is a blessing, Thank you so much. Brian :eek: |
Also whats the fairest price source for the strut illimenators,
Brian |
Mmmm I can see dozens of manufacturers jumping on here to share their R + R experience with you..:LOL:
|
Yep, you are rite about the hinges, The pivot almost has to be above the the main body surface. I would suggjest making you own hinges, or look at what the streetrod world has to offer. Lots of trunk hinges might work. You guys making Daytona Coupes yet? I got a set of molds if you want to add that car to your line.
|
Brian,
did you get my email? |
A right angle support bracket will help alot also.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Bernie. :D |
Thank you, I remember the first set of hinges we recieved and thought "What" how do you do these and no instructions, then I figured it out freak accident because we couldn't figure out where to mount to get the right lift of the doors off the body, the closer to the body the better the lift. My goal was to offer better quality by installing them 100% into the 1 by 1 roll, but better quality seems to be Handlaid into the body and just worry about the rool for impact and body support!
Thank you, Brian. |
I really appreciate every bit of help too, this community is "GREAT", I just want to thank everyone for the help.
Brian..... |
The welcome email, with the information "?" Yes, thank you so much Joey, I appreciate your willingness to work with us, everything is looking brighter. I can't believe the responce we're getting.......
Thanks, Brain. |
Daytona Coupe Molds would be Awesome, I'll keep that in mind. We're having to sell the Kits so inexpensive just to cover opperation capital and payroll, but we're hanging in here.
Maybe some deals I'm working on will go for the good and I can consider it. Thank you so much. My current goal is completeing the door molds for my 49 Merc Chopped and Channeled |
I'm still looking for a set of Grille Surround plates for the 49 Merc Kit I've got all the molds ready except the doors and grille surround plates....
Thanks, Brian. |
We just the hinges on another cobra kit, we'vee decided the 1 by 1 is great for the Hood/Trunk, but the doors are better on Handlaid mounting brackets onto the body of the Kit itself.....
Really Kicks those doors nicely without the risk of future scrubing, the hood and trunk kick up fine. Thanks so much, Brian |
Got it Joey,
Joey,
Brian here, Yes", I got your email, and Patrick I got yours too. Thank you both sooooooo much. I'll be posting pics of our First COMPLETED Turn Key, and I'm going to look at a 50 Merc in a field, the back is almost rusted completely away, the Grille and surround plates are supposed to be great, this may give me all my 49 Merc Parts and I can start offering them **) Thanks, Brian. |
49 Merc Door Molds will be complete soon
FINALLY I've got a local contact who has the time and back ground worthy of pulling my 49 Merc Molds for the doors, I hope the first complete roller will be available July 1st, 2007 :D
I'm excited, this Leadsled can be viewed at my web site www.kitcarstogo.com under the 49 Merc catagory bottom of the home page and then go to the photo gallery...................... Thanks everyone, Brian. :rolleyes: |
