Default Re: Any interest in Original Type Door watershields?

If all pans out I will do them for A-bodies, Novas, as well as Vettes. The main issue is volume as it is quite expensive to set up and coat paperboard in small quantities. When I called some of the coating plants I use for large volumes they didn't want to discuss the project.
The Camaro ones have a redline on them. Not all of the original Camaro ones have the Redline nor would I believe all had the greenline. Typically the Lines on one side of the sheet indicate the end or beginning of a new roll and it (the line) indicates the rough(wire) side of the paper which will not be coated, most virgin paper is made on a Fourdriner Papermachine which uses a felt on one side to support the wet pulp and a wire mesh on the otherside. WSI wireside in or WSO wireside out... big difference when coating paper.
