strange thing to say
I relate it to LEDs, last years models sold for $36, this year models sold
for $16, next model will be even less. The technology has improved every
year as the price comes down,
and yet -------
some folks are making a lot of money selling the lower-cost versions of LEDs

New sales have almost doubled the number of systems already in place.
The business of installing these front ends is going to be very large.
Not going to stop sales, at all !!!
Hubler, and Manny are working very hard to make these front ends
technically correct, and available at -large quantity - prices.
This is a second version, to make the kits, technically correct, and (
except for the knuckles and lower control arms) , using all new parts
Manny has put in a lot of time and money to update, the "Chevy , front end
kits" . He has to buy these kit parts at quantity 50, to get the lower
prices.
These front-end kits may become a standard up-grade as parts parts for our
existing front ends, become increasingly hard to find, and repair of the
existing parts becomes expensive and hard to support.
200,000 mile, maintenance free, front ends , will provide an excellent
upgrade, that all of our vendors can support.
Guess you needed to be at the Rally to hear their talk ;>)
but at least, the rally information is being published, not held hostage ;>)

Sounds good to me. Anything to make the old frontend better and less of a headache is a good thing in my book. Just making sure you are reading the posts.

Anybody got an email address for Manny? His hughes.net address doesn't work.
If somebody finds out the details of how to order the new Hubler-Travao front end kit
and how much it costs, please post it here. I want one!
