Deffinitely the hot pants. I am sure these would sell if we could get the aftermarket going. Een if every pinto had hot pants, I do not think it would get old. If you cannot get them made, let me know i WILL LOOK INTO IT.

well... Map351 has made the rear spoiler and can make/sell more. He had the rear spats (side-behind the rear tire) and made a mold for them. All he needs now is the side pieces (between tires and under door) and people willing to pay and I'm sure we can convince him to complete all but the front spoiler... these pieces (except the front spoiler) will fit all sedans and hatchbacks, the wagons will need a custom rear spat but I think there was enough interest in them back when we did the "poll" so that may be a real possibility too..
The front spoiler will be hard to duplicate (complicated) and only fits the 71-73 cars (because of the bigger front bumpers 74 and up) so I would guess that piece will be last...
I am more than willing to provide anything Map351 needs to duplicate this kit, all he needs is time and willing buyers... I want to see them made as I really don't want to use the 2 sets I have on any future projects (unless the right/original one comes along) and will buy 1 or 2 myself ;D
Speak up here if interested in getting Map351 motivated into finishing the Hot Pants Re-pop.... he needs to know if his hard work to do this will be worth it... speak up and let him know what pieces will be in demand and please only reply if you will actually buy the item once it's available... It will take some time for him to make available and there will be a reasonable price to pay for these items.
Do you have photos of what you're talking about... I think Go-go girls when I hear hot pants. Not car parts. ???
Ditto.
Ditto twice.
body kit - front spoilers, wheel flairs and a rear spoiler
Brian you do know this is like herding cats!
I splashed a R&L spat to make the wagon plugs.

Wow, that looks good.
I'd love to see how it would look on a CW...
What kind of price are we looking at?
Sign me up - it would look GREAT on my wagon - of course I'm sure a wagon kit would be different....thanks for clarifying.
Chris
Im in too hot pants = :surprised:
I might be interested, if the cost wasn't too high.

Depending on what it is made from... it shouldn't be too bad. The one for my Mazda3 (front lip, side skirts, and rear flares) runs ~$350-400, unpainted.
So, no front lip with this one? Are they making a CW front lip? I need a new one for my wagon...

I know Mike but... I keep getting asked here and personal messages/email to sell mine and the interest is there. Problem is... if the parts are not available when people have money and are willing to buy... they move on to other ideas, drop it or change their mind... I know you like to have the item you make sold before you will start making them and understand that.. I really do...
But... there are a lot of people out there (I very strongly suspect) that will buy these if they have a fair price on the item and it's available "now." I know this would require you to make quite a few sets (for better price) and take a lot! of your time. I also know the sets will not sell quickly and will take some time... you have to think of this as an investment that will pay off in the long run...
However if you would rather not ever do this or consider making them... let us know. You are the only one I have considered letting you use the origional pieces because I trust you with them and the quality of your work. But, if you don't ever want to consider making the rest of the kit just say so and I won't ask or suggest it again.
and Chris.... wagon (74 and up) wouldn't be able to use the front spoiler, no rear spoiler for wagon either, and the rear spats (behind the rear wheel) has to be custom made. The flairs (between the tires and under the door) is the same.
so basicly wagons w/a custom rear spat will only be using the wheel flairs...
Thanks Cookieboy...er, no thanks :(, no, seriously, I appreciate you telling me the differences. If there was a way to do something for the wagon, it would be cool....
Chris
Yes sur ee sign me up for one complete kit Thanks
I am very interested in the hot pants kit....I bought a 77 sedan last summer and I've been doing quite a bit of work to it. I'd love to get my hands on a body kit for it...Let me know when they are ready.
What is the projected price and will this fit a '79 wagon?

What is the projected price and will this fit a '79 wagon?
a 79 wagon would be able to use the body kit between the wheels on the side and a custom rear spat (behind the rear tires) would have to be custom made because of length required for wagons only.
wagons would not use the rear spoiler and the front spoiler will only fit the 71 thru 73 cars.
no projected cost as there is no one willing to make them at this time. Mike sells the rear spoiler (hatchbacks and trunk modles only) on Ebay, last one he sold went for around $150.
Now there's some interest in the Hot Pants kit & the wagon spats I crunched some numbers. Since I have the rear spoiler mold and working on the wagon spats I would need the side skirts and front spoiler to make the molds for a complete kit. I would make the kit for a wagon & Cp But I need 5 (Five) people to commit before I'll start the rest of the molds. Price $550.00 per kit + shipping. This will be hand laid glass not plastic so it's very repairable not like the OEM plastic. It's a lot of work time consuming & expensive to do this, the price of materials goes up every week. Also I need a 25% of pre payment if you back out you loose your 25%.

OK Mike... $550 +s&h for a complete kit (front and rear spoiler, side skirts and rear spat) to fit 71-73 cars only...
since the front spoiler will not fit the 74 and up cars how about a price without the front spoiler for hatchbacks and sedans 74 and newer?
and then a price for wagons with only the side skirts and rear spat only? since they also can't use front and rear spoilers...
sorry to complicate it a bit but... others will want to know and I would get...
1 kit for a wagon (my 77 cruising wagon) and 1 or 2 for hatchbacks (78 and 80) for myself...
I have a spare 77/78 C/W front spoiler that Mike can use to make a mold if he wants.

I have Albertos front spoiler for the later cars, but it needs a ton of work before I could make a mold from it.
If I had the time I would make a front Valance/spoiler that would fit all the years with interchangeable ends to cover the different fenders & bumpers.

Would that be for the 79/80 cars?
The 79/80 spoilers are significantly different and will not fit the 77/78, or the 74-76 cars. It seems that each group would need its own spoiler.
Bill
YIPPY!!!!! Mike (Map351) has asked for the side skirts!!!!
It's gonna happen folks! Hot Pants coming soon!
He has the rear spoilers ready, will make rear spats (one for the wagons too) and when the side skirts are done that will be most of the body kit!
because the front spoiler will only fit the 71-73 cars he is "thinking" about making a "generic" front spoiler for the 74 and up cars. And he said it should be no problem making the front spoiler for the 71-73's
Yahoo!!!
