Arne,

I echo duffman's appreciation. Thanks for all the effort!

Julio

For those of you who have not yet sent a check, please do so soon, as I will be laying my plans to sell off the unsold ones immediately after I get the pre-paid units shipped.

The order has been placed, with the required setup deposit.

Also, there are currently eight (8) '240-Z' and two (2) 'DATSUN' sunshades still available. The rest are all pre-paid.

The order and initial deposit have been received and confirmed by the manufacturer. Next milestone will be paper mockups sent to me for test fitting prior to running the real items.

As of today, I have received payment from all people who indicated an interest save two. One of the two is still pending me working out international payment and shipping. The other hasn't replied since late September, so I'm going to consider that sunshade to be available.

That means I will have two DATSUN and six 240-Z still available, so if you haven't gotten in yet, there's still time.

Status as of today:

A small delay on the production side. The manufacturer believes that the die he still has marked "240Z" is mis-marked. So I am going to (following his instructions) build a new paper template from my car, and will have to mail that to him before pre-production fitting tests can proceed. I will be creating the new template this evening, but figure this will probably add 7-10 days to the process.

Got word today that the paper template/mockups are on their way to me for test fitting and final pre-production approval. Will post pictures once I get them.

Thanks Arne! These are definitely old school cool

Thanks Arne! These are definitely old school cool

Very true. I strongly suspect that this will probably be the final period-style mod for my car. Not to say there won't be other more modern mods hidden underneath (like the R-T diff mount I plan to install soon), but I've tried to keep all the visible changes period-correct.
