You'll need to wait until they release the official price and send out purchasing info. Just make sure you're on their list of users to contact (first post).

Thanks 2point0! (This community is so helpful to each other!)

Couldn't have said it better myself, I'll add you to the list. In case you're wondering though pricing is still not set. We're still fairly positive we'll hit our target MSRP of about $150, and this group buy you're looking at will be less than that

Thanks to both 2point0 as well as chase. I clearly didn't read the thread close enough. And chase I'm loving that last comment as it's the sweet spot I was hoping for!

Add me to the list. Red, for what it's worth if you're still surveying.

I'm late, I know, but add another to the Black tally

Hey no problem, it happens! This is the internet after all :P Good to hear about the last bit, I'm sure a lot of people are right there with you.

Will do, I've got you added to the list!

Black Please

Schrödinger's tower bar.
A black tower brace is placed in a paint chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by GrimmSpeed): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases the spray head to paint it red. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the strut bar is still black if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the black and red strut bar mixed or smeared out in equal parts. (No, it would not be brown).

Apologies to Schrödinger and Wikipedia.

(This has to be the longest bump in these forums).

No problem, I'll add you right now!

@Captain_Snooze

I heard that Schrödinger both liked and disliked that post.



Also, thanks for that, as usual

Surely it can't take this long. I mean when my wife gets undressed I get a bar in no time.

Capn Snooze drops the "w" bomb! Wife? Take it easy, some of us can't even get girlfriends...

I guess I should have mentioned: Everything is still looking great and on track, as expected all the strut bars are finished and have been sent to powdercoat. I received a prototype early last week, was able to quickly make some small adjustments, and we've been good to go. Only thing that could stop us now is if there is a strike at the powdercoater, or the truck gets hijacked on the way back here.

I've changed the direction for the AC line provision as well. Testing showed that the sheath that I picked was working against abrasion, but there was still a mark on the AC line itself. This comes from a combination of aggressive and abrasive textured coating, and heat. It simply was not going to be a good long term solution. So, we decided to move the AC line away from the bar completely, and it will be ziptied to a metal bracket holding one of the high pressure fuel lines. It's not attached or stressing the fuel line at all, and should be a very simple, effective, and replaceable long term solution. I brought the vehicle and prototype to a weekly car meet I go to this last Monday (with a handful of ft86club members), and there were no complaints at all. I will post pictures as soon as I am able, but I would much rather post pictures of a finished piece, as opposed to the naked prototype I have here.

So, with that said, August is going to be a good month
