Expanding Fiberglass Business - Bought Out Fredrickson

Post by JoeRainville »

Hi Guys,

Since 2006 I have worked with Lee Fredrickson on offering my reproduction Dator-Lite and 340/s tool boxes. Recently I made the move to purchase all of Lee's John Deere molds and I am now working directly with a glass manufacturer in southern MN. All of the JD molds have been moved to the new location.

Currently I have molds for the following parts:
Liquidator Lite hoods
340/s 2nd gen glass hoods
340/s glass pan, same fit as the original ABS pan
340/s rear tool box
76 Liquifire / Cyclone / Dator aluminum pan in glass

We are currently working on a few issues, like improving the fit of the Dator hoods. I am also planning to lift a mold off of an ABS 340/s hood with a jig for proper fitment. At this time I am only suggesting the 2nd gen 340/s hood be used on those sleds that have the aluminum pan update and the Cyclone bumper.

Along with expanding the windshield line up to 4 products so far (340/s, 295/s, Liquidator and Liquifire "Sport"), I plan to slowly add products where it makes sense. For example, I have a plastics company looking at the underhood ducts and such for a 340/s. If that doesn't work, we can always go with fiberglass.

Any feedback or suggestions for future product is always welcome.

Keep it up Joe!
Old sleds are hours of entertainment.... then you get to ride them for a little bit.
