Elation........then disappointment Got home from work this morning to find my flares waiting for me, pretty easy to guess what was in the box just from its size and shape. Noticed a medium sized hole punched in the side of the box, my fears confirmed upon opening. I found 2 good sized dents in one of the rear flares. Looks like some over zealous forklift driver backed into them. Called and spoke with Mia at AA and to their credit they are sending the FedEx guy tomorrow to pick up the bent flare along with the whole order. I'm assuming they will ship the replacements upon receipt of the damaged one. I'm a long way from body work so ultimately no big deal, but still a minor PITA. I must be truly smitten, I could have bought a really nice restored model for what I've spent so far, and a lot less tribulation than what I've experienced. But I've never taken the easy path, why start now?...daveyboy

Sorry to hear that! I had some issues with FedEx that delayed delivery. Just got mine today. Other than that, they arrrived ok.

There was a ding in one of my rear flares also...(not great packaging) but given the scope of the project I'm not going to sweat the small stuff...just pound'er back out. I'm happy to just have a set.

Sean,

Good to see that yours arrived as well. Did you get my PM?

Hi Chuck,

Yep, and returned too....

S.

Were you kidding about the free toolbag?

No, he actually said that...don't worry...I didn't get mine either. I'm sure he just forgot.

WOOHOO! Flares came in, at least thats what I think they are. Wifey picked them up and said there from Atlanta. Maybe i'll have her open the box for me tomorrow. Had hernia surgery on Monday so I am down for at least the next 14 days.

Will have her put them in the garage and then open them up; hopefully they made it across the sea without any damage, will let y'all know. Now if only the car would get here as quickly

please call me personally and I will send.

whens the car getting there? -JON

I didn't count how many of you guys said you missed this one ... are there any more of you (5) that are ready to buy some? ... I'm game.

OK, thats TWO (10/17/07) ... anyone else"

I'm in.

Should be sometime in January, need to give Norfolk a call and confirm the date.

I PM'd George and asked if he was up for another one of these events ... and he replied:

"Always Mark. making a 914-6 gt clone is the RAGE these days! The current deal would be ten sets one check 650 per set plus shipping 49 states 50 dollars shipping and if they wanted to add some other parts reasonably light and regular sized the shipping would not increase. We will ship to each individually."


I just spoke with him on the phone too, and as you can see, the new deal is a departure from the earlier buy of only 6 sets to qualify, so this may be a little tougher to get lined up


* Minimum order is now 10 sets, still the same price: $700. each ($650. + $50. shipping ea. CONUS)

* ONE check payable to AA

* Shipments would be individually sent out to each participant's address.


As of today (10/18/07) we would need 8 additional participants to make this work

I don't have your battery charger did you find it?

I'll see you sunday

I will be in soon but not for a couple of more months.

)))[/url] It may take that long to come up with 10 buyers Jeff I'll list you as a for now

Good call George ... I started a Brand New Thread

I hope you get the required number!! There were about 3-4 people that contacted me after the flares had already shipped so hopefully they will contact you now.

Give me time to scrape together the funds, and I'm in.
