Yes. Once I have the mold I can reproduce as many as needed from that point forward.

Hi all,

I was able to get an NOS sample from Fred of Max Merritt so this project is back on.

If I can secure 10 orders for this item, I can take it to production.

This is for the ignition bezel for 1955 and 1956 cars. Here's the link to the order page:

https://whiteglovecollection.com/shop/1955-1956-packard-ignition-bezel-pre-order/

I underestimated the plating so I had to adjust the price accordingly.

Thanks,
Crin

Hi all,

We had a discussion about this on the pre-war page and I thought I would post it on this page where it belongs.

If I can secure 10 orders for this item, I can take it to production.

https://whiteglovecollection.com/shop/1955-1956-packard-ignition-bezel-pre-order/

Fred of Max Merritt is providing an NOS sample to use as a template. I underestimated the plating so I had to adjust the price accordingly.

Thanks,
Crin

Hi all,

I'm not giving up. I didn't receive enough interest so that's why I mentioned that it's not going to make it to production and I didn't want to hang on to people's money that have already paid.

I'm afraid that a cast part will be just as weak as the original. It's a zinc alloy which I found out, (after doing some more research), was the main ingredient in pot metal.

I don't want to sell a mediocre product.

Here's what I suggest.


1. I design the part in CAD and check on what it would cost to have it CNC machined

2. I have it machined out of Stainless steel and polished

or

3. I have it machined out of mild steel and chromed

I still need one sample to measure. It doesn't have to be pristine as long as one 'ear' is still attached I can duplicate it in CAD.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Crin
