John, I would gladly discuss further issues with you, but feel it would be more appropriate to discuss them privately. However, I would like to clarify for you and the list my $90,000 price quote. Keep in mind that making replacement pieces of an existing frame is different from building something completely new. To build a new frame, you need to consider finance, design, tooling, raw materials, assembly fixtures and process, facilities, and labor. This all assumes that you are planning on building hundreds of frames and not just one frame. I don't feel any need to incorporate what you refer to as "design features" into the Stainless Steel frame. However, if you want to see something really pretty, check out our frame tie downs and redesigned trailing arms. Better yet, look at them in 130,000 miles and see that they have not changed. -- =============================================== Bryan Pearce Pearce Design Components 2N629 Jefferson St. West Chicago, IL 60185 Phone: (630) 293-0945 Fax: (630) 293-0944 DeLorean Part Fabrication =============================================== On Jun 24, 2006, at 3:59 PM, John Dore wrote: > I would be very interested in seeing a reply from you regarding the > projected cost of $90,000 for a frame incorporating the design > features I commented on being missing from your stainless steel > frames.
