This weeks interview is a full length show with NPD Mustang Guru Matt Lazaic. He told me about the hard work up to releasing the new Mustang catalog. It takes a lot of research and he admits that there may be some items not in there. NPD welcomes customer feedback to help fill in the gaps. Matt says he sees this interaction as needed to make sure they have more products available that NPD customers want. You can check out the new catalog on the NPDLink website.
NPD also has a big announcement and Matt let us in on the details. They are introducing the new line of full steel Camaro and Firebird bodies as well as Tri Five Chevies. These are produced for NPD by Real-Deal Steel who was selected as the supplier based on visible rigorous quality processes. Matt said that even just from internet pictures you can tell Real Deals attention to quality and a commitment to building great products. He told me that Real Deal makes the bodies with thicker than production steel, more accurate jigs and templates, and 25% more welds than an original production vehicle.

Thanks Matt for this update from NPD.
