He had contacts in GM and checked if the old dies was around. GM scraped 'em years ago. Just curious on what kind of connections you had on this stuff.

I've been in the industry for a number of years and used to work for Taiwan Kai Yih Industrial. I am working with another manufacturer now that specializes in parts for these vehicles. Yes; it does take a lot of time and money to produce parts. That is exactly why a public forum like this is an ideal resource for new product development ideas. After all of the obvious parts are made it takes a little more research to decide what to do next.
