OK folks, as of this morning we have 14 confirmed individuals (15 units total) that will be participating in the group buy. I am expecting a call back from Frank at DSS shortly. Look for a post later today with instructions on how to send money to DSS for the driveshafts. As soon as the funds begin to roll in, DSS will begin the process of building the pieces.

CONFIRMED:
1. Kjkidd21
2. Asher4799
3. RuckinAMG
4. MR747
5. Alpha26
6. MBNRG
7. the_indian_kid
8. Schulminator
9. BLKROKT
10. Revotech Motorsports (x2)
11. Thrilla
12. ritalin
13. gzim335

OK Folks, I just got off the phone with Frank, the owner of DSS (DriveShaftShop). He is ready to begin production and begin receiving funds for the Carbon Fiber Driveshafts. The in-home ETA for the Driveshafts is 4-5 weeks.

I have sent him an email containing all of the MBWorld usernames of individuals participating in the group buy. He is going to mark individuals paid as the funds roll in and I am going to follow-up with him on Friday to find out who has paid and who has not paid (don't be THAT guy). At your earliest convenience, please send $1,499 to DriveShaftShop@Gmail.com. Please be sure to include your MBWorld Username in the comment section when sending PayPal so he can identify who has paid and who has not. Also, if you would be so kind to send funds as "Friends and Family" to avoid PayPal fees for DSS, they would much appreciate it.

Please reply to this thread with "Paid" once you've sent money.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

So, Friends & family money transfer to a gmail....Anyone know if Frank and kj are planning a trip to a non-extradition country in the near future?
(my attempt at a Joke...hopefully)
Again, KJ, thanks for getting this organized. Look forward to the new toy. Now I'll just need to get this installed instead of putting it in the closet for months...

LOL, yeah I'm not sure my pregnant wife and 3 year old would appreciate that. Although, a beach in Mexico doesn't sound terrible at the moment

Thanks for the quick payment. The sooner we get the money in, the sooner we get our new CF Driveshafts

I would jump on this but I don't see myself benefiting from this on the streets.

Try calling (800)564-2244... speak to someone in sales, tell them you're part of the MBWorld C63 Group Buy and give them your name, address, email and MBWorld username. They should be able to take CC payment over the phone.
