Would any patent rights on the original body panels have expired by now. stainlessilusion <5n-@xxxxxxx> wrote: It is very much possible. However, I think the main concern in manufacturing new panels is cost. Designing stamps and getting all the equipment to make the panels just isn't worth it. We're talking about profit?I mean, we only need so many panels, and the amount needed probably wouldn't cover the cost of the equipment and everything else to manufacture them. -----dani b. #5003 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
