Depending on the time frame, I'm in

Time frame will be determined partly by how fast we have at  least 12 commitments and money submitted for this.

Personally, I don't need any dash pads for my cars and I'm not doing this as a capital venture. The posted costs are the actual cost from Dash Pad Pros to produce 12 pads.
Should we be able to have 24 pads done on the first run, the cost to Dash Pad Pros will go down and so would the price to those first 24 persons.

Loren,

Thanks for doing the legwork on this. You can count me in for one.

Hello Loren
If you don't get twelve I would still be interested even if the cost goes up.
Thanks again
Joe

If we can not get 12 prepaid orders, the project will most likely stop.

I found three cores with all the mounting clips still attached. I definitely need one for myself,and would donate the other two for the project. If anybody wants to commit to the extra cores,maybe would could get enough for an initial run.

Good idea, Dan.  I also have a core that I can donate.  Fortunately, I don't need a dashpad, but have a spare from my parts car.  If it moves anyone to commit for a redo, consider it yours.

I have one you can borrow until it comes back, I can even help you install it I have done many times.
We are so close we can probably ship them together and save frienght.
