928 Classics is pleased and excited to launch on Kickstarter, Project Dial - Reviving a Classic!

Due to the excellent response and support from our 928 community, as seen on Phone Dial Design Project - Modern 18" 3-piece forged:
the Project Phone Dial team is ready to move forward into wheel testing and pilot-production.

This is where you and Kickstarter come together with us to help launch into this next stage of the Project!
We ask that you review the project and the rewards... see what interests you.

• Wheelsets are available for those who've been waiting to purchase, limited edition one-of-ten
• Cool Phone Dial T-Shirts, Posters and Models are available to help support the project, as well.

Our funding goal is $28,928 and we have 30 days to get there!

I'm pleased to answer any questions you may have, either on RL or Kickstarter.
Also, feel free to email me at jim@928classics.com

Lets make these modern Phone Dials a reality! Thanks for your continued support!

why only 30 days?!

Fantastic work Jim! Made a pledge to help see this idea through.

Jadz928

Great question!

The max is 60 days, but that doesn't fit into the schedule.

The plan is to fulfill this project (when successful) so that project backers can have their rewards before/during the Holidays.

Also thinking foward, we want full production launch to start the beginning of 2014.

Thanks!

Thank you Pablo!

"Also thinking foward, we want full production launch to start the beginning of 2013."

You meant to say 2014

60 days will allow people to save up money to donate a higher dollar amount, but your looking for time oh well.

Edited, thanks!

I discussed the Kickstarter project over a month ago (LINK to post), so those interested in wheels could have a head-start.

I do apologize if I've disappointed you.

On the bright side, there are other ways to contribute to the future success of this modern Phone Dial!

I've entered my pledge.

For others that expressed enthusiasm: time to ante up.

Just added my donation - Good luck Jim!

I come back from working in the garage to find we're already a third of the way to our goal! I'm astonished and grateful.

Let's keep up the momentum!

Huge thanks for the custom-finished pledge, Dave! Kevin Michael will make them look super nice for ya.

What are thinkin' of doin' if I may ask?

Thanks John! ...luck and prayer will get us there.

Great idea Jim - I'm in.

I was thinking Hot Pink.

Not.

I haven't settled on anything yet. I really like my polished and otherwise raw, untreated Fikse's. They submit nicely to metal polish and I don't have to worry about clear coat getting compromised. On the other hand they don't look as good on average as a clear-coated wheel that's regularly cleaned.

What I really like is black chrome. But, I'm not sure if that would look good on Amazon Green.

In general I'm really intrigued by the cross-over application of higher-technology solutions to more-mundane things. For instance the use PVD to coat wheels:

Stock Porsche Phone Dial finish (or, if you are going for darker, Charcoal Gray or Gloss Black) with a subtle sprinkling of Amazon Green Metallic metal flakes (like the Holographic Metal Flakes)?

I would strike a balance that does not over-emphasize the wheel or the paint itself on the wheel, but then again, I may not be as daring as you gents...
