[Chrysler300] gas tank re-pro project - reply

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,

    Re: fuel tanks : a recent note by George Riehl states the following  : 
"It's too soon to think about this as there is a current problem with the 
dies and material that they are working on. We'll just have to wait for the 
outcome. As soon as any info comes in, it will be forwarded."

    Dave, it should also be noted that the repro parts made in Sweden are 
being made privately by certain individuals. It is my understanding, from 
prior conversations with George Riehl on this topic, that it is up to these 
individuals as to how to market and sell their products. They do not 
necessarily wish to sell through the Chrysler 300 Club .

    Mr. Michael Burke was recently in Sweden meeting with some of these 
individuals;   he has been heavily involved with them re: various 
reproduction projects, and he himself sells some of their repro parts 
directly to the membership (air cleaner housings, etc... ) .  These are NOT 
club projects and Club funds are NOT involved.  As Mr. Burke is connected to 
this listserver and reads these e-mails, perhaps he will reply to your 
question, and enlighten the membership  as to exactly what is going on with 
regards to the fuel tanks you are inquiring about and whatever else may be 
in the works.

    I do not think that the people in Sweden involved in these repro 
projects want our financial backing or Club involvment in their private 
ventures. Also, our Club does not seek to make a profit on repro parts, 
whereas apparently they do (and that is certainly their right ! ) .
