Forged Carbon Grand Prix Case: WIN!

[ZoomBoy]

That's fine with me. If the Grand Prix parts (not the full case) are on a rough ETA you told me via PM I have no issues with waiting. I understand this isn't exactly an easy project, and you are only one guy - not an entire factory in China so patience is a virtue here.

that red on the gen case should be for the alinghi version, not for the GP.

Wow! Can't wait for your solution regarding the case swapping. Please post a tuto if you can.

exactly!! This would've been really really helpful!

As I've stated previously, I will be producing a comprehensive tutorial for the case transplant. It's not really an option for something of this complexity. Lay your fears to rest!

hopefully my business will allowed me to buy that beauty and a nice gen ap strap

 

[Imaknockov]

Just a quick heads-up for you guys: I've got 7 cases done and one more in tow. I will be shipping the first pieces tomorrow. Part of what has slowed me down is that I've opted to use a new type of screw for the case lugs and the supplier has been slow in shipping (what else is new!)

Will be posting pics later this week to show you what I mean. They use the exact same flat blade screwdriver as the stock screws, but have more thread and you won't have to worry about them coming loose and getting lost

It's in the pipeline, but probably won't be getting to it for a few months until the Grand Prix project is in its sunset stages.
