I will kick in some money to some end I suppose. I am working on one of my out buildings right now ~$350.00 and taking bids for an AC system (~$to damn much). So, I flinch at big numbers right now. You know, numbers like $1.95....

OK, I talked with Paul about these and I took a closer look at his '55. He has an early dash but it had the late dash cap on it which had me confused so he has an early dash to use as a pattern. He is going to look at making a cap out of fiberglass for the older dash only since I told him the newer one is readily available.
The newer dash cap he has looks really good with the grain pattern and all. I thought it was from the states but when it's pulled off you can see the raw fiberglass underneath (dash caps from the states are smooth on the back side, at least mine was for my '76).
The dash cap, as we talked about it will cover the old dash c/w a drop down that goes around the "Land Cruiser" emblem and tailgate switch.
How many folks are TRULY interested in the early cap AND are willing to pony up cash to have one made? If there are enough interested folks out there and we make a run you can expect probably a 2 month delivery. Shipping would be out of either Houston, TX or Savannah, GA assuming we can get container space.

Yep, gotcha down. I'll let everyone know when we have a prototype.

Charles, not sure if it would help/work but maybe we should start a thred in the regular section, to check demand, see who else might be interested, for a #, after the proto type is made.

For the dash cap, how much to [STRIKE]Michigan[/STRIKE] Indiana?
(sometimes, I forget which state I'm living in. I think it's the state of oblivion...)
I'm all in for this, it looks awesome. I'm also excited about the gutter/roof patch kit, as at least 10% of my gutter area is shot. Thanks!

OK folks, stay tuned, we are trying to work out a cost for a group shipment to the states. PM or post here if you are TRULY interested as the number of folks asking will reflect the discount. If you post up wanting one and then back out you'll drive up the cost for everyone else. We need to get a realistic count of interested folks.
