I'm interested as well. Count me in for the group buy as long as the price isn't out of control.

I PM'd Kevin this morning, but I will post an update here as well. We built the first prototype of the V6 cover about a week and a half ago. Last week we did fitment to a car at a local dealer (05 Mustangs are getting hard to find around here), found a few small changes and built a second prototype this week. We just need to double check fitment on a car and then we will build a tool and pull some fiberglass first parts, probably in the next two weeks. We will post pictures of the fiberglass parts on a car as soon as we have them. We should have pricing figured out by then as well.

We will most likely do as we did with the GT cover and offer a few fiberglass parts for sale while we are building the injection mold tooling, which takes about 4 weeks.

The prototype covers look very cool on the car and I think you will be pleased when you see the pictures. The dealer where we did the fitment was pretty excited about it. We will be offering a version with the 4.0L logo and a plain version.

How about one with a retro style v emblem with the displacement in cubic inches similar to the fender badge on '64-1/2 to '66 models? Like this...


Except 245, of course!
