Re: [DML] Remanufacturing Body Panels

["Johnny Sawyer" <johnny.sawyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can do anything with money.  The real question: is there a large enough
market for the trouble/expense for new tooling?  I'm guessing no since
panels are readily available through all of the vendors as well as private
parties - and that includes the coveted left front fender.  Have you seen
the photos inside of DMCH's warehouse?  They have more panels I will ever
need in my lifetime.  Same thing with PJ Grady and DMCGG.

Not trying to crush your spirit, bro.  Just telling you what I think, (since
you asked).
