Thanks Paul!

Yea, I wish I could say there's another wheelset buyer holding out 'til the last minute... but as it stands, I don't.

I really believe I've exhausted my efforts in finding one for the near-term, so it's looks like it needs to be 'grass roots' style to the finish!

Thanks everyone for their support! I'm going to call my Mom now and ask for money...

Received a nice email from our wheel manufacturer...

Awesome job Jim,

We will be ready to go when you are. I’ve made some arrangements to have some additional programming support on your project so that we get it done in only a few weeks.
Once you have everything nailed down on your side let me know and I will start scheduling the programming and production time. I’m glad to see it finally coming together for you.

BIG BUMP! Roughly 3 hours left and Jim needs another $2200.00 to make it happen. I'll throw another $100 at it for each group of 5 people who give up at least $50 for a maximum of $200 on my part just for schits and giggles. Come on guys, help another brother out and make some history here!

We're counting on it! We just kicked in another $200. Less than $2K left, time to get it done!

I just upped my contribution. Wife doesn't know.

However I am sure she will understand if this thing makes the deadline and we can have a supplier of certified Phone Dial wheels in various sizes. Hope we can push this thing forward. Good Luck in these final minutes.
