I'll have some more info this week from the shroud mfg on our mockup. They're getting it early this week to begin the tooling for it. I would expect another week or so for it to get back to me, I'll double check it all on my car (a 8rib SC'd setup, the tightest we've got) and then we can start taking orders officially and I'll get all the fans, relays, flaps and shrouds ordered at once!

Thanks again for your patience!

Jamie

Ok, we're starting to get some momentum. Here's a rough drawing of the shroud with the speed flaps, OEM Expansion Tank brackets and resistor shelf. (The resistor shelf will be L Angle, not channel as shown...)

Crossing fingers I'll here back from the Mfg this Friday and approve the final drawings. Then we can get some made!! Would be nice to get this project finished, for all of us!

After much delay the prototype is in production. We were quoted about 2 weeks until I see it and check it for fitment on the car and make sure it's up to snuff...

Then we take orders for delivery about 2 weeks after that...

I'll keep you all updated!

Me too! I was told before the 25th... Raza will receive as he's closer, and check fit on his car. Then we will release production of 20 shrouds and reconfirm orders. Won't take money until they come in, but will at least get the line formed!
