Well said Norm. I missed the Little S. post last night before the refresh. Glad that you brought it up again.
Anyone who is reproducing parts for the Power Wagon should be commended for their efforts. Guys like Dennis, Dave, VPW, Helitool have big investments in making these parts for a limited market. The hobby benefits from all of their efforts.
I was in Stafford CT for the car swap meet a couple of weeks ago, and saw repro '33 Ford fenders going for $800 a pair, and the market for Ford parts is huge. Why should Power Wagon fenders cost less, there is no incentive to produce them if you can't be compensated for your efforts. So, as the old saying goes "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". And thanks to all the repro men out there.
Norm - Get well soon, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
