    Hello everyone,

    I started working on the orders.

    I was waiting for a sample material and it finally arrived. Boy I like this stuff. It is an outdoor fabric with a nice rich weave texture, just a touch of sheen and, most importantly, is waterproof. I tested it under the faucet and it performed flawlessly. The price is very similar to Sunbrella. I will post pictures by the weekend. I will make MY own top with this material and I will adopt it as my choice fabric for the tops. The people that have sent a deposit and/or paid in full, can have this or the Sunbrella as I have ordered both but I like the looks and the fact that this new stuff is actually waterproof.

    I will pm all the people that have place an order.

    These tops are going to look good!!!!

    Gianluca

    I have paid the deposit and will gladly pay the rest in full when you say so! Thanks for doing this for all of us! Waterproof material for me would be great too! Black with black trim.

    Thanks!

    Verell,
    I just answered you on an email. I am aware you want the waterproof fabric. No need to answer the email.

    Very much so! The problem is be able to find a car to make the pattern. I can ask Fernando or Richard @ Competizione if they have one to get some measuraments.

    MODERATOR NOTE:

    THOUGH THIS IS BECOMING A COMMERCIAL VENTURE, WHILE IT IS IN ITS INFANCY AND DEVELOPMENT, WE'LL LET IT PROGRESS HERE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS DOES NOT COMPETE WITH ANY OF OUR SPONSORS, AND IS *ALMOST* AN UNOBTAINIUM PRODUCT CONSIDERING YOUR CUSTOM TOUCHES. WE APPRECIATE YOUR INNOVATION FOR THE FERRARI COMMUNITY.

    AFTER THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GROUP BUY IS COMPLETE, PLEASE MOVE IT TO FERRARIADS.

    THANK YOU!

    Re-looking at the posts I have to agree with you. The posts have taken a commercial tone.

    I sincerely do appreciate the opportunity to have been allowed to carry on with the post. I will still post final pictures and matters of technical interest as well as a final list and preferences for every buyer.

    I am exploring the possibility to become a sponsor as well.

    As of right now, I would like to ask the other member to contact me directly or PM me for any "commercial" issues regarding the tops.

    Once again, I am grateful for the help I have received from this Community.

    Thank you,

    Gianluca

    I wanted to start sending some out by this week. Of course, DHL lost my shipment of fabric and the binding was the wrong thickness. Other than that everything is proceding well :)

    Seriously, the above really happened. I have already put in a new order for the fabric and today the correct binding will be shipped therefore by this coming week I should start sending some out.

    Hi everyone. Here is an update.

    All the tops are ready except for the binding (the edging). Was sent the wrong binding and I wanted to see the actual samples before I committed to another order. The binding will be here on Tuesday. I would guess that by Thursday I will could send them out.
    My apologies for the delay. (fabric was lost by shipper too but eventually did come in).

    Here is a list of the buyers.

    John White: Black/Black.

    Larry Shultz: Black/Black; 2 tops.

    ATS Racing: Black/Black; Paid in full.

    Terry Daniel: Silver/Black.

    Tillman Strahan: Black/Black.

    Gerad Geraci: Black/Black.

    Tom Wortham: Black/Black.

    Christian Shield: Black/Black; Paid in full; may pick-up or send to Richmond.

    Frank Foster: Black/Black; Paid in full.

    Michael Charness: Black/Black; may want to see silver/black. I will post pictures of the silver/black I made for Terry Daniel.
    If you would like that, I need to order some material as I screwed up the silver fabric I had (got enough for 2). It will
    not take very long to get it, however. Just let me know.

    John Walsh: Black/Black.

    James Veres: Black/Black.

    Verell Boaen: Black/Black; Paid in full.

    Matthew Stinson: Black/Black; The red thread has been ordered if you do not mind to wait a little longer.

    Christopher Hagenian: Black/Black.

    Robert Boas: Black/Black; Paid in full.



    If you do not see your name, please PM me.

    The first picture is of all the "ingredients".
    The last 2 is how I keep the price low. Are there laws against this?


    Thank you all for this opportunity.
