Gauging intrest

I have a set or ribbed splitty bumpers, (front and rear ) with brackets that i purchaced from Dave some time ago with the intension of making molds for fiberglass reproductions. I have had them fully restored, first a panel beaterfixed any rust pitting by weilded and flat filing then I had them rolled and copper plated by All Metal Bumper restorers and they are now ready ( perfect) for molds. I am hesitating now as there is still some considerable expense to go in moulding especially as there is no use doing it if they are not done of the highest quality . So far the feedback from people has not been positive , they want metal not reproduction ( $340 pounds in the UK reproductions) and that the market may not be big enough to warrent the mold.
So I am looking at any interest in fiberglass repros. what thet cost will depend on numbers but something like $200 plus each looks likely. So if there are the numbers I will get the molds . any comments? Mitcl
