Did you just take out the inner wheel wells on that '66? Trying to figure out how it's going to work on my '57.

They are just removed for now. Pretty sure the owner is going to build some. On the 57 you should be able to get away with modifying the factory inners.

Right now we are running between the 6-8 week mark on the build time.

Making a little headway on getting back to the 4 week build time, and doing our best to get the parts out a bit quicker.

If you have an order in, shoot me a message and we can get you an update.

Mine took about 8 weeks but is worth the wait. Top notch stuff, I am really impressed how everything went together.

That kind of wait time is ridiculous. Seriously dude, hire some more people or whatever it takes.
Maybe farm production out to china like everyone else..LOL
I would have ordered from you but I wasn't going to wait 6 weeks. Spent my greenies somewhere else.
I know you build top quality stuff but it aint gold plated.

All I have to say is... I hate that for you!:waah: 6 weeks of waiting to have the best on the market; thats nothing!! In the process of ordering my dropmembers I talked to Nate about the wait and if you want to know my opinion (as a small business owner myself) I think he should raise his prices! I would have paid more for my dropmembers because its the only product on the market that is gonna give me exactly what I want! Nate has a small group of talented guys and I understand the frustration of hiring someone new and training all that jaz.
Keep it up Nate, you and your crew produce awesome products! Oh and I see gold every time I look at my Dropmembers!:lol:
