Oh well I still deffinately want one of the Satin Automatics when they come available.
#102
Yes, here they are.
Sorry man - it just wasn't something I wanted out there with our name on it at the SS show - you will be first on the list when they can give me back a part that looks like it should, or at least like we sent them to begin with... This finish is very difficult to deal with, much harder than our brushed or black finishes.
**On Edit**
Here's the link to them on our website - please know that all orders for satin finish will be held until we're happy with the quality of the pieces, shouldn't be long, but we just don't have them back yet (again).

Manual - waiting for an opening in the machine time to get these going - FWIW, I'm waiting too, as my personal car is a manual... so I won't get one very much sooner than you
Automatic - finally were happy with some we received back from anodize, so we can fill the backorders on the GT pieces, plain pieces probably Tuesday or Wednesday. The chrome we already have been getting good ones back, so those are now a regular stocking item.

Well heck, if I was willing to sell them for 200.00 or so a piece, I'm sure we could bump them to the front of the line
Seriously, it's just a matter of getting everything done. For example, tonight we were at the shop late again, working on the deluxe door handle kits - there was one offset set incorrectly, and it scrapped 30.00 worth of aluminum, and a 88.00 cutter, the 4th cutter to get totaled out by a "stupid" mistake - not the same mistake, just another stupid one.
And of course, this is because we keep trying to tweak it just >.< much more to get it 100% perfect, and also do it in a reasonable time per part, which of course are two completely competing issues. So we're working on things as fast as we can, just can only keep so many things juggled at once. If I was willing to do just do a simple "knock-off" part, we'd have had them out two months ago, instead of sitting here talking about it now...

Bob, I will definitely keep that in mind if we end up doing anything drop-top specific. Since we don't own one, nor do I know anyone locally with one, if you've got some ideas for drop-top specific products, email me and I'll take a look at them.

Here's where we are with availability at the moment:
Chrome GT Automatic - in stock
Chrome no lettering Auto - in stock
Satin GT Automatic - in stock (but low)
Satin no logo Auto - backordered (currently due to anodize continuing to mess up the parts, forcing us to re-work them)
All manual parts - still not released yet, but I should see a finished part this week with all the changes I've made to it from the one that has been on our car.
HTH.

Tried the revised piece over the weekend - didn't like a couple things about it, so another go-around before they get approved for production...
I guess I need to have a closer eye on this to get it done...

Marcello, how is the 5 speed manual bezel coming? I just ordered the satin finish GT cupholder bezel and am anxiously waiting the shifter bezel. Keep up the good work!
#118
Marcello, sent you a PM. You know I never opened this topic before glad I did though. As soon as I figure out which finish I want you got your self another customer, no ones stuff looks better

Thanks guys - I just sent the revised drawings back to the machinists to move a wall .050" - it's that whole perfection thing again, and they think I'm crazy.
But with that change, once I see a good sample we'll be in business with them - I know there is a lot of interest in getting them out there, so we're working on it.
