| good to know , possibly in process . I bought 67 dart gt taillight pair from them , pricey but nicely done and worth it with the lenses ; however the red lens has a “ chrome insert “ trim ,—- due to poor assembly quality one side fell off the lens, who knows where . tried to buy it or get another one ( the trim) no answer . Fairly downer customer service , after lot of $ in , car has no trim on one side . Sent from my iPhone not by choice Vans was working on it, sent me a prototype to fit as I had the back end off my F. Gave them all the new measurements and adjustments, that was probably a year ago.
I put a lot of money into making this 20-30 years ago . Brass artisan casting works , lots of hand work to finish plus outlandish cost of chroming now . You have to find very skilled brass artisan . My guy passed away . and because of brass shrinkage the mold has to be slightly oversize , really hard to do . 5-6 tries before we got it . I also paid a lot of $ for plastic injection molding / tooling of it but solid plastic could not take heat of real chrome bath. Aluminum spray type “ chrome “ on plastic looks awful . A good chrome shop can sometimes fix a cracked one if you have the pieces . despite cost may still be cheapest . perhaps Van ‘s has connection in China , pot metal injection and chrome . Hard to break even in US even at 400 each doing by hand . . Good subject , obviously interested . This part is needed . By the way , I did make the G hubcap spinners , used on other years too , — hardly any sales . Just mentioning — that aspect of reproducing parts kills you . .
