    Eric....those are "works of art!"

    The highest quality as are all the things you've worked on...

    Thx for the effort.

    Wicked nice. Historically correct, too.

    So Jim, you got it. Heh, heh.

    Years ago, I stopped at a yard sale and bought a Techna scale 911. Very cool, right? Well, the guy forced me to pay $5 for this old roof rack that was festooned with geen grime that made it look like the chrome was all pitted. It cleaned it up to like new condition. I sold it to a guy in the village for $300. Home run, right?! Damn, I've been looking for another one ever since. These racks are the coolest things for an early 911.

    I supply them....

    I will have the prototype at the Ski Roundtop swapmeet on Saturday, providing I make it there on time! A purchase that I need to pick up put me on the east coast this weekend (no, not a car...).

    So, I'll have supplies of houndstooth, muffler tips, bumper end caps, etc. etc. Plus the prototype window winders for SWB, and another new product there as well!

    Pricing shortly.. just trying to nail down finishing costs on the brackets. The first round of racks will be available in 2 weeks (I think...).

    Eric

    Whoa! Really, you'll be at Ski Roundtop? That's more than enough motivation to go right there!

    Very nice Eric. I too agree that those racks are a great look (and functional too) for an early 911. I trust you are duplicating the leather straps, no? Are those the same length as the same vintage ski rack? If so (and I hope they are), would you be willing to supply a set of eight to outfit my ski rack? Mille Grazie!

    If anyone had an lingering doubts as to how well these racks look...Here's a personal testimonial....THEY ARE INCREDIBLE !..As I am sure everyone else who was at Ski-Roundtop today can attest. Eric had a lot of his prototype stuff with him today...it is all extremely well executed.

    Eric: Thanks for bringing your goodies "back east" as you left bankers like to say

    Eric's products are top notch and the rack is over the top. Plus, it was a treat to meet The Man. Thanks Eric for coming our way.
