67 vs 68 Trim Differences

Actually MVH, I have been friends with Joel for some time now, and when i inquired about which piece he was repopping, he informed me that when in pre-production he didn't know there was a difference, and just remade the item from the best example he could find. It just so happened that it was a lower, which is pretty lucky and probably helps sell the piece a lot better!!

You'd be in awe of his story on how he came about to have enough capital to do parts at all, and it was also a chance purchase of some NOS antennae assemblies, namely 7 semi trailers full of NOS OE antennaes for all makes of cars!! He told me that early on he mistakenly sold an entire semi trailer load of the oval masted antennaes correct for 60's GM products. I believe he said he bought all the antennaes for $5 a piece, and sold that truckload for $12 a piece, not knowing that he would be able to sell them now for $150 a piece. That one trailer load did give him the capital to start Metro, although a fire at his warehouse destroyed thousands of pieces of his stock, and I believe most of what everybody sells now is repopped, patterned after NOS originals provided by him!! If I'm not mistaken, the fire was started by an employee BBQing steaks on a grille!!

Just some fun facts form the cosgig files...
