I'm waiting on some more feedback from the couple folks who have some before I green-light more.

Well hussle up and get them green-lighted.  ;)

I'll take a set when they become available.  I'd build them myself, but for $25ish bucks, I'll just wait. :D

Isn't the Fox motor mount market pretty well saturated?  What are you doing different?

My blanks are all laser cut and bent by a local shop I've known since my KB days. 
The paper from the university says I'm an engineer....haven't done much "official" engineering work since I left Kenny Brown's 5 years ago.  I had several contacts for plating and hardware, etc since I handled alot of the manf stuff there.

Only 50% of my cars have them!

I'll probably install them within the next 5 years.
