I am really not supposed to offer our products direct as we generally only sell through distributors, BUT I will do it for you guys since your thoughts and help have brought this project to fruition for me/us...

is there an email list we can sign up on, to make sure we get a pre-order in? 
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, but what will the install be like? I have tinkered around on old automatic transmissions, but those only had a cable running to them, what all is required for an install on these new transmissions?
Kris, if you can, could you take some shots of the shifter in your car when they do a test fit? (unless they don't want pictures release just yet)

Daniel,
I will probably be taking pictures (not sure if it will be of the finished product or the install yet, that depends on if B&M is cool with it) because a magazine I'm doing a bit of freelance is interested in it.
Chris,
I talked to Scott about doing a tech article and he sounded really interested, so

Early on in this thread (Feb) you teased us about maybe something for all auto's any news you can share on this. As I'm looking for something for my Hughes Performance AOD for my "other" car.

Basically that assuming we have good success with this auto shifter ( i have alot riding on it!) we will release additional products for the Auto trans guys. Deep trans pan is in the works now and we are looking at a torque converter as well.

I am wondering how much modification time are we looking at to configure/install the shifter. This is exactly what I have been looking for for my auto and I would definitely buy one upon release.

I am predicting about a 1-2 hr job with a lift. You will need to get the car up in the air to access the trans box etc and swap the shifters.. I will know more once we do an install etc.

Hey Chris,
Any word on the prototype coming in? My car is currently in the shop and will be until at least Monday, so if they're not in yet, no big deal to me. But if you think you guys want to do the install next week, I will see about getting it to you.

Glad to hear the estimated install time. Good for a quick weekend changup on my car. I just want to be sure and plan my installs because this is my daily vehicle right now so nothing too major.
