Dear DBasher:

I'm glad you asked, I've been meaning to update everyone.

Patent Issued, Joined SEMA, and Joined the Tire and Wheel Committee.

Want to start prototyping as soon as possible, I am planning of going to California, in the very near future to take advantage of their prototyping equipment.

I want to have a full size prototype to present to possible manufacturers. I think there is a broad application for this and hopefully the manufacturers will feel the same way.

I am very happy to be moving forward with this and hope I can have something in place soon. It is a several tiered exercise to bring something new to market.

I hope I have decent success with this that will help everyone involved have fun, be safe, and enhance the appearance with their cars.
===========================
I must say:

All this said, I want to say as a husband blessed with a wonderful wife, I have responsibilities I must due diligence with to keep my promises, and duty. She deserves this and I am happy to give whatever comfort is necessary to make her life happy and provide her with plenty of support.

Regarding the above statement, unfortunately I've have had a short delay, as my wife's health has had some issues that needed to be handled properly, and I have had to make sure she is stable and properly taken care of. She is not a detriment in anyway to moving forward with this, and I am happy to be able to provide this for her.

I wanted to make sure this is mentioned up front, as I would hate to give anyone the wrong opinion about my priorities.
===========================

I appreciate the inquiry, and am happy to provide progress on this product. Please feel free to ask anything, or if you have any ideas or experiences you would be open to sharing that might be helpful in this endeavor, I would graciously welcome them.

Please give me any feedback, I do enjoy this opportunity to visit about this, and look forward to bringing it public.

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal
