    Guys

    Awesome day. The scale or RSP'd operation is huge, repro parts is only a part of it. The quantity of ehat they have in stock is mind blowing, and to walk around and see NOS stuff there ready for sampling is very interesting. Seeing repro HQ nose panel samples for instance....

    As for quality issues, I am semi-convinced they are now heading in the right direction, and I now have (meaning you guys also now have) a direct input right to the Directors of the Company with feedback on what is not right, and what we want to see reproed.

    On top of this, I looked through their new product bulletins for last year. They are going to provide these to me, so I can post them up here for all of us to see what is coming and what is now available.

    I'll post more later, but we should not miss this opportunity to be involved.

    Note, new GTS wheels are on the way, very hard to pick from original. Unfotunately they are only going to be thin spoke, but hell it at least helps most Sandmans. As for wish list stuff, we are in now on the ground floor with this, at least they'll now listen.

    We discussed upper tailgates as a repro item for consideration. I'm also in Les's ear about modifying a HZ fascia mould to make HJ examples.

    I've asked Les about that numerous times.....to no avail. I hope it happens.

    Well done Byron, sounding like the kid was in the lolly shop today.

    Conratulations on what seems to be a very productive and posiive adventure, it's good to hear that they are willing to listen and learn.

    Great news about the GTS wheels, sometimes you wonder how the other ones passed QC in the first place.

    Can't wait for the future posts.
