Thanks Bot

:( Sad news, guys. I'm happy that I received the package today, but the drop didn't make it. There is a hole in the box that is just about the right size for it to slip out. I know that these were 1-to-1, so I guess my drop is gone forever. I was looking forward to it. The corner of the package says it is insured, so maybe I can see about talking with the USPS about it.

The good news is the important part did make it through, and it looks awesome. Excellent work, botbasher.

That is weird since the 7s were zipped under the rods and the emblem!

Don't stress yourself with USPS... If yours is the only issue I got ya covered!

Like you said though.... At least the important part made it through!

Cheers!

Mine came in yesterday (Thursday? New work shift is an overnight... :ack: ), opened em after I got in this morning.

No pics yet, but they are fantastic, and bigger than I thought.
I'm 100% satisfied to have been a part of this!

The Cerakote is fleeping amazing. The only way it could be better is if it was glow in the dark as well. :mrgreen:

Emissions & fuel economy haven't exactly been areas of strength for past rotary power plants, but absolutely no one with a soul has ever cared.

Received mine in the mail yesterday with no problems! The mail lady had jammed the envelope into the mailbox :shock:

Anyway, they look amazing

I guess I didn't post here that I got mine yesterday. The envelope was open when I got it, but that's because my wife opened it to bug me. She said it was really well taped up and hard to break open. Thanks again Botbasher.

You know what's funny about that....

Briggs came up and visited for a while and picked his up. As he's looking at it, he walks over to my nosecone and sizes it up. I looked as he did that and realized that in all this fun and frolic, I hadn't even stopped to look and see how it looked on my own car!!! :oops:

Glad they are all arriving safely. Only 2 incidents so far... one package MIA and one "7" lost in transit. I can live with that!!

With that being said... I have 5 "leftover" Emblems that I'll toss up for sale if anyone decided that they want another. 1st come 1st got!!

It's been a busy couple of days and I haven't been keeping up here but I got a couple in the mail the other day...

Printnweld
Raceral
Blake17

You guys should see yours in a couple of days!!

That only leaves a couple of guys left on my Naughty/Nice list!! :twisted:

Carguy123
Omterry
Factorypartsjoe

If you see these scoundrels, let them know I'm looking for them and I'll be at the OK Corral at high Noon!!!

OK... back to your regularly scheduled programming already in progress!

Please keep hold of one for me, so I can buy another if mine never show up. It got lost as we moved right around the time of shipping. I will chase up with USPS and see if they attached them to one of their little vans.
