VXC Products survey...

[ron]

hey guys and gals...

Been mulling around the idea of POSSIBLY resurrecting offering VXC products again. This would include the original ABS skidplates (front, rear, sides), grill inserts (plastic and stainless steel), shifterplates (old and new), clear lenses, and the new mud guards. I've included some pics of the products for your reference. Just need to know which product you would honestly be interested in purchasing right away. Reason asking is that I'd start with the most 'wanted/needed' product to get some cash flow to get the others going as well.

Front and Rear ABS skidplates:


Side ABS skidplates:


Old shifterplates:


Old shifterplates and front clear lens:


New shifterplates:


Grill inserts (plastic):


Grill inserts (plastic):


Grill inserts (stainless steel):


Mud Guards:


Note, with the skidplates, I do NOT have the original molds as they were destroyed by the former vacuum-former when they closed up. However, I DO have the original CAD files that I can get the molds machined out to start forming more as needed. The rear plate I can probably get started in producing as the mold is not that complex to make. Then, I'd follow up with the sides when cash starts coming in. I'm already talking with a local former who has given me rough prices to form parts. But, I'm going to see if I can negotiate the prices lower as they're a bit pricier than the previous former I dealt with years ago.

Again, I'm still on the fence in making the jump to do this as I know how much work is involved with producing parts and I'm figuring out the best approach of keeping post finish work to a minimum per project. If you're honestly interested in purchasing any of the items mentioned, please add to the poll to increase interest count. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. rudy

Outstanding!!! Some of those parts I have been looking through the site to see if there were any opportunities to pick up. I'm In!!

Side skidplates and new shifterplates - like RIGHT NOW.

VX in shop getting final prep for paint, so if these are a go soon that would be great. Money in hand, Rudy!

And I've still got your front and rear skids on there, looking great.

If that front skid plate had some mounting points for foglights I'd be all over them.

Gorgeous work though (I'm a mechanical product design engineer, and appreciate good design and workmanship).

Would probably have to be some embedded metal for that. Not sure fiberglass tabs would survive the torquing of top-heavy driving lights.

Check out the safari bar option if you're going for mounted lights.

I Want The 2 Carbon Fiber Shifter Knobs ASAP! Thanks AL

Those would be mine. Found Here.

These ones are cheapo eBay ones as I couldn't find the Razo ones JoFotoz mentioned above at the time.

Automatic Shift Knobs
Manual Shift Knobs (used for 4lo/hi shifter)
I have a matching one for the e-brake, but can't figure out how to remove the current cover without actually cutting it off.

I just took them apart, sanded the hell out of them, primer, paint and satin clear. I love them! And they do compliment the Shifter Plates and Faux CF prints of the interior!

Do note, you will have to permanently remove the square tubing around the gear selector.

TAKE MY MONIES!!!

I'm loving the new design on the shift plates! I had to sell my metal grill years back, I'd love to pick up a new one! Along with everything

[VXorado]

Side cladding plates, put me near the top of the list Rudy. I'd buy them today if they were available.

[VX4EJR]

Would be interested in rear and side plates, count me in!

[PK]

Rudy, thanks for offering these up.
I have voted on the survey, but it is a conditional vote.
Yes to -
Front skid plate
Rear skid plate
Side panels
Mud guards (will they come with the rubber to attach to the body??)

Trouble is, living Down Under freight is expensive, so I would want to consolidate all parts into one shipment. I am sure we can work out how to do that, and there is no urgency (within limits LOL).

It's just cruel. Dude comes in and gets us all wound up and then goes ghost on us. CRUEL I say!

If everyone follows through on what they put in the survey though? Rudy's gonna be a busy fella whipping up 115 (as of now) orders.

Keeping 'em crossed that this happens quick-like.

Ok, so I'm in the middle of getting the rear plate mold fabricated to start things off. Will be sending CAD file of the rear plate mold to a buddy who can CNC it in one piece. Hoping to have results by next week some time. If the mold is to my satisfaction, I'll bring it to the formers to get more accurate quotes for fabrication. I should have a better assessment on prices for the rear plate at that time. If things go smooth and no hiccups, then I may pursue getting the side skidplates mold fabricated to get that started.

Also, plan to work on molds for the NEW shifterplates at the same time. Will keep you posted as things progress. rudy
