    vacuum formed plastic is the easy way to go when you get it down.

    now if everyone wanted fiberglass, I would be producing out the ying-yang, lol

    Price? A replacement is a replacement.

    Well, they repop parts in the resto car industry all the time. But your probobly dealing with AT LEAST TENS OF THOUSANDS of enthusiasts if not more from around the world. I mean did you see the thread in ebay forum for the Pontiac SD for example? You are probobly dealing with a couple of hundred (MAYBE) trike enthusiats. Thats why no one makes repops. Thats why the manufactures from back in the day who are still around dropped the ATC product line--theres no money to be made, DAH. Don't get me wrong, I luv ATC's. I grew up riding them. I have 1 or 2 of them. In my opinion the 3 wheeler ride is dead (with John Q. Public) except for us enthusiasts who keep the memory alive. Go with what your heart tells you and make it work. Good luck! BTW It's only money.

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

I guess it is the economy or lack of interest/need or something. Funny thing is not only did I think I'd sell several white and red sets but I thought people would jump at the chance for a custom color like blue, black, or carbon fiber. Don't get me wrong I think in time they will sell and I'll get my $ back but it is proving more long term than I had expected. I was also planning on getting a few more products remade, but not now.

    Now back to the 350x shell topic.........
    I bought a set of Carbon fiber ones from him and I can assure anyone out there thinking about getting some that they are top notch quality and well worth the price.

    Maybe you could talk Maier into advertising the shrouds on there site as a limited run item or something? Get rid of the stock you have then just do pre-orders???

    I did buy a set of white just in case I actually finish my 200x project someday.
