I am putting this on hold. Andy is making his and mopar mel has his.. I still could do it but I need to get antennas done once it warms up. I have been working on perforated headliner board (dodge, Plymouth Desoto)... Yes I have the cool pattern ready to go at the printer...

Well that's a disappointment, as Mel,s are only tape chrome covered and we need the transparent reverse chromed ones as original

If the perforated head liners actually don't lose me money I could bring this back. The tooling cost was an issue and the fact that andy and Mel are selling them.

Yes, that´s right I did a bunch of strips 63" again after 2 years. $85/ea. There was demand here in Europe, that´s the reason.

They are bare grey plastic and can be painted, mirror chromed or chrome foiled by yourself. I do not offer them "tape chrome covered" like MM because the tape may come off when the long strips are bended to fit in the package for shipping. All you have to do is to use normal car wrapping chrome foil if you like it chromed, like I did, photo below.

I am not able to make the in transparent plastic. I contacted nearly 20 companies 2 years ago and they all said that setup costs to make the extruder tool is extraorbitant high. We´re not talking about some foot but many many yards of these strips to cover the setup costs.

Mike, if you manage to make them from transparent plastic, reverse chromed, for an effordable price, I´ll stop making them with no problem.

If there is interest in the plastic strips and/or the matching caps, feel free to contact me for more information, prices etc.
