dhs1223 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Project completed and now ready to ship. Cutlass Convertible Top Frame Pin Cup Kit - 2 each pin cups 2 each internal tooth washers 8 each Black Vinyl Pin Sheath and BONUS DVD When I bought the car, I found shortly afterward on Ebay a couple of GM Dealer vhs tapes. 1. Cutlass Convertible Top Diagnosis and Service 2. 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Product Training. Well, it occurred to me that the "Top Service" tape would be a valuable item for all vert owners and since I have a way of dubbing from vhs to dvd, I thought I would include a copy with the kit. The Cutlass product training is a salesmans guide to the 1994 Cutlass lineup hosted by John Goss of Motorweek. Thank you to DOHCRagTopGuy, 95TripleWhiteVert and 93luminaz34 for your payments.

dhs1223 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 Come and get them - now available for immediate shipment. Cutlass Convertible Windshield Frame Pin Cup Kit Quote
Fleeingpepper Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 How long will they be available? Until they run out I guess? I'm thinking about buying a pair, but only when my top starts working correctly. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 I am going to jump on these soon, but I need to wait a paycheck or two but I'm glad they look good and are availible! Quote
DOHCRagtopguy Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Got mine today. Outstanding! And very cool of you to include the extra gift too. I'll be putting them on soon, I'm modding the Maggie a little bit so my Cutty has to share time with that. Any chance you can put something together with the rear quarter weatherstrip that all of us ragtop guys need? You seem to have some talent in this direction. Major good kharma to you, Dennis-Thanks Quote
95TripleWhiteVert Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Got'em in the mail today. Excellent items, packaging, and very cool DVD! I recommend all vert owners to jump on this deal if they can. You won't be disappointed! I'm waiting on spring to arrive before installing them. But, from what I can tell, there shouldn't be any problems. Thanks again! Quote
dhs1223 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Posted March 6, 2008 Thank you for the positive feedback. Got'em in the mail today. Excellent items, packaging, and very cool DVD!

I'll be putting them on soon, I'm modding the Maggie a little bit so my Cutty has to share time with that. I am glad that those who have received their Pin Cup Kits are pleased with them. I hope to be able to sell all or most of the cups I had to buy to meet my suppliers minimum order requirement so I can put those funds towards another part reproduction project. One suggestion I have already received are the rear quarter window weatherstrips. This one may be more difficult, but I look forward to trying. Please feel free to suggest something else W-body Cutlass convertible specific that you think would be a good candidate for a group buy project. Also, kuddos to j_mezz for his resourcefulness in finding replacement switches for the roll bar dome light. I got mine earlier this week, but haven't had a chance to install them yet. I so look forward to the extra light in my car at night. My dome light hasn't worked as long as I have owned the car, I purchased the car in August of 2003. Thanks again. Quote
jmoore4294 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 I'm still in on this. Just have to wait until Wednesday for a paycheck. Sounds like they are well worth it. Quote
Fmr12B Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Just sent my Paypal payment! Much appreciated. I would absolutely love it if you could source the rear window seals as mine are pretty chewed up. Year1 sells every damn weatherstripping for every friggin car old known to man. I can't think the rear winow seals would cost much to set up the tooling & mold as its a relatively straightforward design and they can just charge us an arm & a leg for the small run they do. Getting all new top-seals will be the difficult one as I'd expect those pieces to cost $250+ and more for a small run. Once you provide a donor set for evaluation I doubt they will feel its difficult, just costly. Quote
j_mezz Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Got them on Friday, really nice little kit you've assembled! Thanks for taking the time to pull it all together! Quote
GOT2B GM Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Arrived today! Looks like quite the comprehensive package. Looking forward to installing them in the spring. Quote
pdt1842 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Just sent you $$ via PayPal for a set. Thanks for taking the initiative on these! Quote
kbviper Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Got my set today - very well put together and packed - great job - thanks very much. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 i really really want. I'm really glad these were made! soon i should be able to afford some. Quote
bbeck12 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Sorry to post in an old discussion, but I'm new to this forum and have been searching for these cups for when I replace the top on my car. Are these kits still available? Quote
John M Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 I too need these or something else for my car. I might even have a source to manufacture them if I had a model. Quote
94 olds vert Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 These ones are not available anymore. There seems to be a big enough demand. That if someone was to make a run of them they would probably all sell. Quote
xennith Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 I could use these as well. Would love to know if anyone can get them made. Quote
DawnetteStump Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Are the cups, washers and sheaths still available? Quote
Timm Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone here have a nice 3D printer yet to try a batch?? It is the 21st century, right? Quote
