Anyone know what happened to Hunley Acuff runningboards? I tried the web site several times, but it does not come up. I heard he retired. Does anyone else do that work?
 
I heard recently that Acuff retired, sold the business to someone whose name I don't recall.. I'll do some checking with the Plymouth guys, Acuff was more into Mopar atuff..

I spoke with him this past Summer and he was talking about having his son take over. However, he made it pretty clear, he'd rather have his son follow a different "career path".
So, not certain what may have transpired since then.
Has anyone tried to call him?recently
 
I certainly hope this business keeps producing! his product is fantastic and I consider myself lucky to have found him and gotten a set.

Bob, I could not agree more. I had two sets done by him perhaps a year or so ago. They'll get used :)

X's 3... He reproduced two sets of 33 Chrysler Imperial running boards for me that are amazing in detail. A real asset to the hobby.
 
He did mine for the 39 Zephyr . Couldn't be more pleased plus as far as I know he was the only one that was doing them. I'm not to the point just yet of installing them but I sure am glad now that I went ahead and had them recovered.
 
Update. Friend just called me this afternoon and has loaded all the remaining running board moulds from Hunley Acuff and are now on the way to a shop in Heflin Alabama. He already had the Mercury and Lincoln Zephyr moulds. Not sure of a timeline as far as producing new boards.
 
Ken,

Thanks for the information. I think there are a number of folks here who would be looking forward to this service again.
