Default Update on frame parts, '40 and other years

I recently spoke with a local fabrication shop, Weld Fab in Billerica Mass.
They took over Precision Coachworks blueprints and parts when the owner passed away.
They previously did all the PCW Willy's parts, and obtained the blueprints for the Ford parts. I was looking for USA made seat reinforcements for a '40 coupe. They knew what I was looking for and are checking inventory. If they don't have them, they will fabricate them from the prints with the correct 3/8-24 SAE cage nuts. What could be better than getting USA made parts, made in my own state. The contact person is Dan, who is the estimator. He is right up to speed on the Ford products. '40 is not the only year parts they make. 978 67 0180, ask for Dan. Nice folks. No more imported junk.

This is good news. I bought a '36 front crossmember from the previous owner several years back, and it fit great and got me out of a tight spot.

This is all good ,,as I have bought various parts from Precision in the past, however since the owners passing all has been quite from this company, that took over.
Are they going to do the whole inventory of the Precision company products as I would dearly love to get a hold of the caged nut systems for the fords that I am restoring for clients???
So does Dan have an email? so we can email or they just doing one offs?
thanks

I called Dan, and since they are in Mass I didn't ask if he had an email. I was told there is no web site yet. Since the caged nuts for the seat reinforcement I asked about have them, we could ass u me, they are available. If you would like an email address, I can call Dan and post if he has one.
