Re: [FWDLK] fury air cleaners

As of four years ago, the cheapest I could get the dies made for '58 air cleaners was $11,000 for the tops, and $2,800 for the bases. Then, once you have the dies, there's a setup cost for the stamper, and all associated stamping expenses... I believe at the time we'd need a 75-pair break-even point -- at around $500 a pair.... This is a much better deal though: (also listed at http://www.classicar.com/clubs/chrysler/rcmstuff/clubstore.htm)

is there anyone out there yet stamping out the dual quad aircleaners for the 58s yet? If not, lets all chip in and have it done, this is rediculous, a lot of us need them, the dies cant cost that much.
