A thought that's hit a few times is open sourcing parts production for RBVs through TRS.
I have the vector files I made for the 2.9 plenum spacers, farmer just knocked out a set of 2.9 rocker spacers, Mightyfordranger designed and commissioned the B2 bumpers, still need to send adsm08 a sketch of the 4.0 starter plate, etc...
Just saw someone post that they have the molds to build the fiberglass besides for first gens (?!?!)
With manufacturing costs hitting record lows in some sectors, this may not be a big deal to pull off if we wanted to.
Just a thought. Would be interesting to see if it could be done.
Never going to make a fortune off of it, but as a moneymaker for the forums? Doable. Plus, keeps the old girls on the road.
