New Black Hustler Bodies - Poll

[Stonewall]

is this a dropped Idea ??

I thought about this thread the other day. I figure Richard hasn't sold all the old bodies yet, so no making new ones... If I could I'd love to buy Hustler Corp. from him and start it up again in the old American Greetings factory up at town......(pipe dream LOL)

Hustler body halves

Hi, I have a sidewinder. It's basically a Hustler from what I've been told...will them and the engine cover fit on that frame? Thanx...6x6Bearman

I'll do that. When I took the top off my 950 all the bolts were rusted bad and I messed up the top pretty bad tryin to get them off. I havent decided if Im gonna buy a new one yet, but its a possibility.

I might need a top for my 950, but I was thinkin about geting a 980 when Im done with it, and I wanted it to be blue.

if you need a top for your 950 in the original color, talk with richard. if i was to even find the original color and make one in that color it would cost as much as him. plus he said he needs his bodies sold before new ones are made...so that's gotta happen before a blue 980 tub is made too lol...

How much more does it cost to get colored plastic?

i'm not sure but it shouldn't be more than +$80-100. I saw on the other forums you are asking about original Hustler parts. Are you looking for an original color body?

btw thanks mike for correcting the poll for me. ur the man

Can the bodies be made in any color or is black the only color available? I might be interested in a blue 980 tub.

as far as i am concerned, the bodies can be molded in any color. the reason black was chosen for this project was because 1. i wanted all-black and 2. it's the cheapest plastic.

i would love to see colors like brown, green, blue, yellow, and others colors on top of a black bottom. only drawback is richard's hustler bodies need to be sold before we are able to produce bodies. he has the original color for sale for about the same price as i was asking if you were to buy in a set.

BTY I think I paid Richard about $750 for the NOS Top and Big foot bottom about 5 years ago.

that's what he is charging for them as far as i know...not a bad deal, but the last 3-4 of lowers and uppers must be gone first...

Honestly I would be shocked if RC "handed over" the molds. Not really his M.O. I would expect he would charge for their use.

Exactly, Clark doesn't just "hand things over". If there isn't BIG MONEY in it for him, he wouldn't be doing it.
