Jammie keep up the good work. I currently have what I call a long term project. It's a 68 Barracuda notch and I got it without an engine or tranny. It's set-up for a manual. That being said the long term is getting all the body work done, interior redone and getting a 5.7l Hemi and a 5sp to power it. I'm so glad someone decided to make one that doesn't require major modifications to the underside of the car. This is one reason I have only been looking at the 5sp set-ups. I'm glad you are taking you time designing this as we know what happens when new items are rushed to market.
Thanks,

Not to derail the topic of Jamie's excellent 5 speed trans thread but....

I just hope it's not vaporware like the repop '71 'Cuda grille.
In fairness to Mike he was simply posting in an effort to do a feasability study on the 71 Cuda grilles by getting a feel for demand and feedback from potential customers, I don't recall him making any delivery promises or saying he had any plans to go into production, did I miss something?
Carry on..
Mike's initial post for feelers for this grille was:

And so it takes 1.5 years to finally say...NOPE; NOT DOING IT!?!?!?
C'mon!
I sure hope Passon makes this trans, but if I recall, it's supposed to be available now, but now it's going to be another year:
"I am hoping for Spring of 2010 for release. As for price, I am not saying anything just yet, but I can say it will be fair. No greediness here. "
Once bitten, twice shy. Ya know what I mean?

Jeeze Ragtop,
You must have been digging through the archives. I guess I look at it this way. I would rather be running behind than just half ass it and get it out there and deal with the problems as they arise. I don't think that is very smart. So, I apologize that I didn't make the Spring 2010 release date. We have been running into a ton of supply problems for hardware items. It seems like no one wants to make anything in this country anymore. So, when a vendor tells you it will be 4 weeks for a part and it ends up being 10 weeks, there isn't much we can do. Trust me, we are doing our very best here.
Jamie, you can't please everyone so don't even try .
