Holcombe Chassis prepares to take the next step

Holcombe Fabrication

I learned the following from Brian Holcombe in an IM exchange:
Brian: got a new hot item....transmission crossmembers, 9 guys want them. i dont know how many will actually follow through with the $$$, but one has so far and i'd expect 2-3 more to follow

Dr. Ron: that is great! send me a diagram of these things?
Brian goes on:
The new hot item is called a transmission crossmember.
It's constructed of round tubing, and has two tabs on ether end for mounting. They're lighter than the factory crossmember by 6-8 lbs, and I will be able to tailor the mount to the specific transmission in the car. The price I'm asking is $120.

My costs are:
  • [such-and-such an amount] to have the tubing bent
  • [so-and-so more] for tubing
  • [and about this much] for shop overhead.
Leaving [a decent enough to live with] profit... not bad for a small product.
