[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1840764, member: 24406"] They are almost finished. We had an EARLY Original ETA (Estimated time of arrival) of between 10/7 and 10/14 which was 3-4 weeks after we sent the files to manufacturing. That eta was based on up to a 30 day turn around which is what we see in most normal situations. However, this is a LARGE production run. It didn't take into account work load they may have had in excess or mechanical failures which are unforseen when the original eta is estimated. We got an update a couple weeks ago (at that 10/14 time line we were shooting for) that they were laser cut, and were supposed to be bent/molded last week and to powdercoat this week and ready by the end of this week. However, there was a slight push I was told from our rep, because one of their presses broke. So they are bending/forming them this week and powdercoating now next. I pushed and pleaded for them to double their efforts to try to move them out ASAP and they are trying to do so. So it looks more like next week some time before they are complete from powdercoat. I have been updating the preorder pages to try to keep everyone in the loop. Below is the update I just posted which is essentially what I explained here. Just to be clear. This is a manufacturing delay. Not a development delay. Everything is done. The parts are cut and being molded, then coated. It is just a delay in the final manufacturing process. So hang in there. They are almost ready and we will work double time to package and send them out as soon as they are. Our manufacturing facility is only 30 minutes away so there is no shipping wait. We will get them, bring them back and start boxing and shipping them right away. John [B](Update 2 (10/26) - I spoke to our manufacturing facility to be sure we were still on track for the 27/28th. They said they had a hydraulic press fail and delayed completion. They are trying to finish forming (bending the metal) them all now, which was supposed to happen last week.
