    I know I read that there was a member on here selling repro quarter panel drop offs a year or so ago. I remember the feedback on them was great. What ever happened to that? Or him?

    They are no longer on Ebay or listed here for sale as they once were.

    They don't list much at all anymore, or let me correct that, they list it, but don't show it.
    I'm sure the guy that owns RPS has a bit of a sour taste in his mouth after the big fuss a few years ago, he actually called me once, to see if it was all what it was said to be, which some parts did materialize, but I wasn't impressed with my name being used to promote the parts, and after I did some investigation into something that was suppose to be all set, then being asked from the suppler to foot the bill, I politely removed myself from any dealings with any of the parts.

    I have one of the trunk drops he sent me for my opinion. The parts he did make were excellent in my opinion. Dont know what happened to Joe, maybe Craig knows.
