Pearce Design Components

Does anyone knows what's happening to PDC?
I mean all his products are out of stock and no longer in production.
http://www.pearce-design.com/products.html
I thought his products was the future for our cars, at least the front lower control arm and front upper control arm, because the frame are not affordable for everyone.
I don't know if Bryan is here on the new dmctalk, this way he will be able to explain if he has any plant for the future.
Thanks for any informations

I am not sure if Bryan is on DMCTalk.org or not (he was on the old .com), but there has been discussion of PDC Products continuing to be produced
either through another third party or by a DMC vendor (directly) in the future. I do not believe there has been any official announcement yet.

While I am sure there are many factors in the current hold on production, one reason may be that Bryan is locating to a different state this year.

I am sure either Bryan or one of the DMC Vendors will be commenting once any deal reaches completion. If no news is posted soon, I will inquire.

Later,
Rich W.

There's also this...

"As of December 2011 we no longer have any products in stock and Pearce Design Components is no longer in business. May thanks to the DeLorean Community it has been a fun ride."

Josh Bengston seems to be the stainless steel master these days anyway. It seems he's continuing to develop more and more stainless goodies for our cars.

I will gladly take that title.

With PDC. DPI had first dibs on the rights, jigs etc. In the end it came down to it being a very dated design/fabrication process that was easier to just start from scratch on. Which for those who have stopped out recently have seen first hand. I know DMCH apparently was the other interested party. I let it pass knowing if we can't see working dashes or binnacles there is no threat of frames becoming a reality either. I couldn't justify the ridiculous price tag for something that badly needed redesigned anyways. 25k+ depending on the day of the week gets you jigs, a expensive source of materials and a lack of knowledge for something that is kinda scratched on paper but mostly in the builders head.

Do you have a target price for your frames?
