Updated report on rootlieb running boards
Good News on the running board project!!!
I am told that the equipment for doing the rubber on the 31 running boards has been moved to a new vendor! This is a huge step towards our success of getting it back into production. Thru our efforts we have found a new vendor to do the rubber vulcanizing onto the metal. no time frame established yet but this is encouraging! I will keep you informed as we move along and I want to thank everyone for your patience, Please hang in there a little longer.......... Ken |

Re: Updated report on rootlieb running boards
Please take my name off the list. I'm building a budget tour car and am using runningboards I bought from Brattons. They aren't as correct as rootlibs but I don't plan to spend much time looking at the bottoms. They're also way less expensive.

Re: Updated report on rootlieb running boards
Thanks Jeff,
I think we will have a few cancellations before it is over but overall we should be OK Still Close to 160 on the list and I have another add on today. Remember I am just putting the list together, soon we should have price established and we can then decide who wants to send a check to Rootlieb. I will not handle the money so I do not confuse the situation. When ready I will tell you the price and you will send a check directly to Rootlieb and then the production will begin. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME! Thanks again for waiting and being patient, Ken |

Re: Updated report on rootlieb running boards
Ken, it is folks like you that make this such a great hobby. You saw a need and took up the challenge and it looks like some more quality parts will be added to the hobby. My hat is off to you.

Re: Updated report on rootlieb running boards
Thanks Ken, there are quite a few parts I need for the late 31 Roadster -- I can drive it without top and bows but not running boards -- no real hurry but I have to have it on the road by summer 2012. Regards, E LaBrash
