It occurs to me that SAI had to deal with these same challenges back in 1965 / 66,
as the volumes of the GT350's was still small batch manufacturing, AND they were working up against hard deadlines to meet production schedules!
The meeting minutes related in Chuck Cantwell's book reflect the struggles of getting tooling setups, sample pieces and production run going and meet the car production schedule.
So no wonder there were incomplete GT350's sitting waiting for hoods, quarter window trim, wheels, etc.

Just imagine doing this for volumes like F-150's !

The documentary "A Faster Horse" is a view into new model startup, an interesting video!

Hey everyone,
I am sorry this has taken so long.  The mold was being made in China so that really slowed things down.  The mold is in the US now and is going to the company that will etch the grain in the mold.  Then we are ready to make parts.  We have already made parts with no texture and test fit them. So we know the fit is all good.  They should be worth the wait.  I think it will only be a couple more months.
Take care
Chad
