could you craft me some stainless steel trainers?
dont just stick to vauxhalls either the DUB and ford boys are big on that sort of stuff so do it for them

yeah sounds a good idea if you could replicate fearless cages and strut braces at good prices you could be onto a winner

How about a stainless steel bodyshell for a Nova? LOL
Usual tanks & stuff tbh. & a strut brace to suit XE & LET conversions is long over due.
XE/let braces-watch this space!
yeh ford stuff aswell is where its at ; )
sounds a good idea tho mate!
Stainless bolts and bonnet pins, bonnet stays, bonnet springs etc etc etc

Aluminium doorcards, dashes, half-dashes, rear quarter trims would be nice aswell, especially if you offered a flocking option.
Edit: Scuttle covers, airboxes like the Irmscher ones for twin 40's.

id be interested in a cage
Stainless / alloy plating kits are pointless as it makes them a PITA to weld on, as you need stainless wire and pure argon. The alloy would depend on composition as to method of attachment, but at the end of the day it's going on a mild steel shell, and the total weight is negligable.
Right, i will soon be able to offer a series of stainless steel covers for most engine's, just sorting a few niggly bits out, then ready to go.
Price will be very sensible, as im not a greedy @unt, but obvoiuisly im not a fapping charity either! :thumb:
