After my research into plastics for my own custom louvers, I think I have found a way to have them produced in large quantities. I mean, I doubt i would need to have alot of these produced, but if I can have a molding made and have 10 or 20 pressed right away, that should get us all by for the time being.
So I need pictures... every angle you can get. Metal. Plastic. One piece sets. Two piece sets. Broken, mended, perfect, whatever! Also, mounting brackets too! Whatever you got, post'em here please! Also if you have any measurements, that would be great. A nester sent me some measurements last summer that I have saved somewhere, but it can't hurt to have extras. Basically, I want to compare the different styles and see what pros and cons are... then deisgn on a new set using CAD and have them pressed out of a newer and much more durable kind of heavy duty plastic than they were using 25yrs ago.
I have found a place that will cast a molding for me and keep it preserved for as long as I want. It ain't cheap... but if we get enough serious buyers lined up, and maybe even a few guys to help me throw down on the cost of the casting and drafting... we could have brand new rear window louvers available. Maybe even then nest may be interested in teaming up and we could sell them directly from the store. Just a thought. My mind is racing 90m an hour right now out of shear excitment.
So... help me out, and post those pictures. I will have a deffinite answer on this within a few days after sending a draft into the company. If it doesn't work out... then I will start hand crafting aluminum and stainless louvers. However, if it does work out... I WILL branch out and have these guys make bumper corners, side louvers, and even wagon louvers.
You know me, I like to think big. So lets quit talking about it and DO it already!
