Really nice John.  Now, let's get some paint on that dashboard.  And where's the Verde Green???    :laughing7:

All in good time, as I know well!

I haven't heard from FedEx yet, but expect to soon......

Hey Dan,

No, mine is to be done in black.  It's a spare.  The dashpad on my restoration was in nice shape, so we cleaned and dyed it gray.

I've had no notice or missed delivery indications from FedEx and I'm supposed to get emails from them when delivery is coming.  I doubt it will be long.

Hi All,

 I have gone though the list that Alan sent of the pads that have been done and shipped.
As of this post,  there are ten pads completed, shipped and received.  There are six dash pads to yet be completed and shipped.

Alan has emailed me that the remaining material on the roll of vinyl is flawed and he is waiting for a new roll of material from his supplier.

  Thank you , everyone for your patience.

No problem here, Loren.  I'll be happy to received a nicely done pad without flaws when he gets it finished.  Thanks again for your endurance in getting this to the finish line!

I was on the list of "don't care when it is done" people and I have received mine. Apparently they are near the end of this run for everyone. I must say thanks again to Loren,and I am confident that everyone will be pleased with the results. This is a quality piece and it saved everybody $$ in the long run.

Great news Dan, I'm very glad you are satisfied with it and relieved  that we are nearing completion.  It has been a long and stressful year.

The work it took to get to the finish line was worth it.  I think we are at maybe 5 orders left to fill and three that I decided to have done from the cores I sent.
