[thebankerstoy]

Not yet, been too busy, but evidently not too busy to comment here!

Well tell you what my friend, just give me your Ebay password, creditcard number, checking account number, savings account number, investment account numbers, social security number, drivers license and passport and I'll pick up one of those boots for you from my new location wherever that might be after you give me all of the above information ok?

Seriously though, ten minutes, your PayPal account information and you'll have one of those boots to add to your impressive parts collection! I am not

Hello Rich,

I will NEVER forget your kindness of selling me that beautiful n.o.s. drivers side defroster vent nozzle my friend, so you can count on my help for anything that you might need in the future! I am not I am not I am not I am not

Please let me know if you get busy tomorrow, because I would be extremely happy to purchase one of those boots for you so that you don't miss out ok?

I also agree with you that doing business with Firestone Collectibles is always a pleasant experience. I've done business with them several times over the years and I've always been really pleased with both the quality of their parts and their customer service as well as their extremely quick shipping times.

Wow Richard, you finally got one of these, awesome!!!!

I take it nothing ever came thru with the talk a while back on BBD about someone trying to tool up & make some?

You know, I was thinking, (smoke coming from my ears...), these 3D printers are coming down in price. I wonder if they could be duplicated that way.

Wouldn't that be something????

Hello Kim,

I actually had my friend Mike Ross at BE&A Restoration Parts in Ohio agreeing to not only reproduce them for me, but he was also going to improve the original poorly designed mounting tabs that are always broken on the original parts.

The ONLY stipulation that he put into place before he would start the process of reproducing them, was that I would need to get him a minimum of 100 pre-orders for them to cover his research and tooling costs. After talking to LOTS of 1966 and 1967 Dodge and Plymouth B-Body owners over many years and having them agree with me that having these defroster duct nozzles reproduced would be a fantastic idea, I thought that it was going to be an EASY task to get those 100 pre-orders.

Fast forward a year or so after I had gone onto just about every Mopar based web site on the Internet and advertised what the plan was to reproduce these parts. Mike told me that he had received absolutely ZERO inquires from any 1966 or 1967 B-Body owners other than me, so the project was scrapped. Needless to say, I was NOT a happy camper after putting so much effort into getting them made.

Another part of that whole frustrating experience, was that Mike was going to offer a set of these new and improved defroster vent nozzles for less that you can find broken originals on Ebay!
