I don't think you will be disappointed; but if for some reason they don't work out, let me know and I'll make sure to set it right.

Absolutely not, my friend. I am a product designer through and through; I have always been interested in the finer details of product design, and going to school for design only made my obsession with details worse. A key component of a good product is the packaging. I will admit, though, that my wife has given plenty of advice and assistance along the way (she is a marketing/design person as well).

Ben: I am not sure at the moment. At these sale prices, I am not making much of a profit, but interest is obviously increasing. I have some ideas for new designs, but not sure if I can justify it at the moment--I may do a new run in the spring. At the moment, I am working on applying to go back to school for an automotive engineering master's, so if I am accepted, I may print some more in the spring to help pay for school. We shall see; my current focus is selling current inventory and applying to school. I appreciate the purchases. You were one of the first customers!

I have given some thought to finishing the designs and doing a discounted pre-sale to make sure I will at least break even on my costs.

Well, the packaging was very nice. You guys must have perfectly wrapped gifts around your tree. In my house you can always tell which ones I did... let's just say my packaging skills pale in comparison to yours.

How did I miss this thread??! Just ordered 2 tees!

Killer designs Mark! You're a wicked designer, don't stop creating the shirts! I
too would buy a line-art 993 coupe and 'vert silhuette version!

Thanks Bill.

To everyone - the orders and positive feedback are appreciated much more than I can express in a forum post. Starting from scratch and making a product is an unnerving process, regardless of how simple it may seem (such as a t-shirt). It is wonderful to see the sales and validate our ideas. When I had my shop and dismantled p-cars, it was a risk to start a business, but the parts--if working--were guaranteed to sell themselves. Since design is subjective, you never know if something like this will sell until you spend the $$, put it out there, and see.

So, thanks!

All of this talk makes me want to move forward with the original plan and keep going! I have some fresh new ideas, but I simply will not have the time until I have finished testing and applying to school. I will have plenty of time to think about it, but maybe I will launch some of these new designs in spring.

Made my order - looking forward to my package!

Will you be receiving anymore inventory of the 993 shirt?

I have a 993 gauge shop shirt and a footwork shirt from a previous order. Both great and fit as Mark described (the two fit differently). I had previously complimented the very cool packaging and the shirts are awesome.
