Karl, thanks for the update. Something has been on my mind the last several months. Would it be possible for our vendors to have a section to let us know of the parts they don't plan to reproduce once the stock is exhausted? I'll give an example. Years ago, I was at Hershey and visiting with one of Dennis's guys. They made the rear fender boots for the 42-48 station wagons and had somewhere around 50 sets left. He said they had no plans to retool to make anymore as they felt the demand had been met and it would have been cost prohibitive for what need was left. It would be nice to have someone from Drake, Carpenter, Vintique , and Snyders that could give that type of information without getting flamed every time they posted. At this point we don't know if out of stock means just that or discontinued. Just a thought....
