Dashcaps won't do it !!! -- long (sorry)

I just thought that I would post this so you guys could write to Dashcaps if you wanted.

specializing in the 83 to 88 thunderbird turbo models, and a chartered club of the
Vintage Thunderbird Clubs of America) many members of the club and the club's BBS frequently ask about availability re-manufactured interior parts. These people are always referred to your company for the dashcaps.I was wondering what it would take, What I could do, to make door panels, armrests, console lids, and other interior trim pieces available from your company. I know that there is a demand for them.
thank-you

Hello Doug. At this time we have no plans for making 88 T -Bird door panels.
This may change in the future. We will file your e-mail and notify you if
they go into production. You may want to check with the dealer.

I got that vibe from them. E-mail them and let them know that this answer won't cut it.

We really need to rally together and get some support and respect for our beloved cars!

Geez, my dad got door panels for his Triumph TR7, with the factory-style vinyl and fabric pattern. Yet nothing is available for a T-Bird, and they sold millions of those things. WTF?!

Most of the Aero Birds I see on the road are beat all to hell. No one really cares but us I guess [Image: frown.gif] I cant remember the last time I have seen an 80's Tbird in decent condition othern than a few TC's

Good point. There are two TCs in nice shape around here (besides mine), a few base models in very nice shape that are owned by really old people, the rest are absolute junk. I guess it says a lot about their reliability, not many other cars that have been neglected that much are still running!

If you find time, send these guys an e-mail. Tell them you want them to make parts for our cars. If enough of us do.. they will. If we don't ... they won't
