Title: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on November 15, 2014, 10:53:10 AM
In recent conversations with my Countach windshield supplier, I have learned that Merci and Gallardo windshields could also be available. I would like to measure interest in this. I do not have a firm price, but if it was around the $700 Countach price, could I sell a crate of 10 of them? Also, there are only two Countach windshields that do not have deposits in the crate currently in transit if anyone is interested.

I am interested. I assume they would be OEM spec laminated safety glass? Do they have black painted around the frame? Do you have pictures of the Countach windshields? Could your supplier do other tempered glass like door, rear quarter and rear?

Post by: 76mx on November 15, 2014, 12:17:18 PM
BP,
   Yes they are OEM and DOT laminated glass. The have the black border and dot matrix, also the darker tinted band across the top. The car pics that I posted on other threads have that Countach windshield. K9cop and Gumby69 among many others can attest to their quality. Unfortunately, the company only does safety glass windshields, no tempered.

They sound great. I couldn't find that other thread with your pics in it. Do you remember off the top what it was?

What would the timeframe be? Do you have an idea what shipping may be on something like that?

I am interested. I would be in for two Murcie wondshields.

Post by: 76mx on November 16, 2014, 09:07:44 AM
BP,
   It is 30-40 days from the time I place the order to ship date. In the past I have found ocean freight to take just about the same amount of time so 60-80 days total. These would be sent to my shop in Texas. I have found with Countach windshields that I can ship one to anywhere in the U.S. for $100-$200, and I charge $100 to crate it. I have never had one broken in shipping but they are insured anyway.

Please put me down for one of your remaining Countach screens.  I will also take the side door framing for the door windows and I sent you an email a couple days ago if you get a chance to read it.

Thanks
Don

Don,
   I will hold that windshield. I got your email and I am willing to scan my side glass and provide the scan but the last time I tried to send a scan there were unresolved technical difficulties.
Lambocars,
   Yes, the windshields are OEM size.
All Others,
   I have begun the process to get exact pricing and ship date. For what it is worth, I can also get Espada and Urraco and other obscure Lambo windshields. Anyone in for 10 of those?

Out of curiosity could they do Aventador windshields?

I know that any Diablo stuff is not an option, I tried to get them some time ago for Bob at B&B Customs and his Diablo replicas. I am waiting to hear back on the Merci pricing and the Aventador availability. It takes a little time as they are asleep right now.

Post by: 76mx on November 18, 2014, 06:07:58 PM
   The Merci windshield has the radio antenna built in and is a little more, but at $750 a copy I can come out on this if everyone is good with that price. If I can get three $200 deposits I will order a crate of ten. We take Visa, M.C., Amex, check and cash.
   They are still a ways away from having Aventador windshields. That was pretty funny Autopro.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: autopro on November 18, 2014, 06:39:20 PM
How soon would they come in and could you give me a shipping quote to San Diego, California 92123?  Thanks!
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: usmc_butler on November 18, 2014, 06:43:00 PM

Post by: autopro on November 18, 2014, 07:30:25 PM
Can I get separate prices for one windshield and for two windshields shipped to San Diego, 92123.  I can either pick up at a commercial dock or have it delivered here to my work which is also a commercial address.  Just let me know which shipping option would be less.  Thanks again!

Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on November 19, 2014, 03:54:49 PM
Autopro,
   To ship a 48x60x44 crate of 140lbs dock to dock is $189.78. To take one of the 10lb windshields out and make it 130lbs does not make any difference. You are still paying for what is called cubic weight. Just one crate charge would make the total bill $1,789.86.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields

Absolutely, I do not like to build those crates anyway. USMC_Butler has already PM'd me that both of you were coming and I will give the same response again, that it is just fine as long as you stay for a grilled steak.

Post by: 76mx on December 09, 2014, 03:58:09 PM
First, for the ones that have purchased windshields, thank you for your business. Second, here is an update for all. The minimum order requirement is ten and I started by saying that I was willing to order that many and sit on the rest if I could get deposits for three. That is the minimum order but I can order any number above that, which the response is making me do. The ten including two for me are spoken for. Anyone else wanting a windshield please speak now as I do not think demand is going to be there for another order of ten anytime soon. The two for me may be available later as at this point they are experiments for my new concept car. Here is what I want to do. I am leaving the country this week and will be back just after Christmas. I will give it until then to get any other deposits and place the final order. I hope all that are already in are good with that and all others no crying after that.

Charley

Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on December 10, 2014, 02:55:52 PM
This may be a dumb question but does anyone know how close a Mercy windshield is to an Aventador?
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: BigPines on December 10, 2014, 03:01:12 PM
I think they may be a similar shape but the Aventador is definitely taller (from hood to roof).
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on December 29, 2014, 11:38:54 AM
Hello all,
   Vacation was great but time to get to work again. I will place the order for the Merci windshields tomorrow and thank all of you who have placed a deposit. The minimum order is ten and between this Forum and others we are at that, which means there will not be any extra in inventory. Anyone else that still wants one please let me know by tomorrow and I can increase the order above ten to any number. I think all of the players now building Merci or Rev replicas are pretty well already in on this order so I do not anticipate the possibility of another order for quite some time. Last chance everyone, going...., going....,

Charley
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on December 30, 2014, 07:51:27 PM

Charley
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on January 01, 2015, 07:08:05 PM
   ...and finally gone! There have been two more deposits in the last three days and that now accounts for all who have expressed an interest. I am ordering windshields. It may take a week or two to get a ship date which I will keep everyone posted on. After that I can get an ETA for Long Beach and then it is about a week to Texas. Autopro and Bigpines, do not ask, I know what you are thinking and have already tried it to no avail. I had to ship a Countach windshield back to Anaheim.

Charley

Post by: BigPines on January 03, 2015, 11:16:34 AM
Thanks for thinking of us Charley. It would have been nice to save the shipping but we got a good price anyway. I'm really excited about this group buy.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on January 19, 2015, 09:50:09 AM
UPDATE:
   We have a tentative production date of Feb 5th. This is the beginning date and production and shipping will take more weeks. I have already been contacted by the Customs Broker to have the paperwork in order. Any new auto part commercially imported has to have the DOT Certification verified. This is usually a big cluster and I am pleasantly surprised that we already have it in progress.

Charley

UPDATE:
   I had hoped to confirm that Feb. 5th date and have waited a few days past it to be able to post the confirmation. Now it is a week past it and I still do not have absolute confirmation, but I wanted to post something before more days went by. I am not concerned about any of this, just wanted to be absolutely sure before giving the progress report, but I felt that a progress report was past due.

Oh nice!  How long before they come in?
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on February 17, 2015, 05:58:00 PM
Pedro,
   This is just the confirmation that production has begun. From past experience on Countach windshields, it will be about four more weeks before they are ready to ship, then another four weeks on the boat, then another week or two for Customs and shipping to Texas. I will keep all posted as progress continues. All of that is assuming that Obama intervenes in the Long Beach dock strike and that is not a factor then. It has been havoc on my current Countach shipment.

Charley

Hi Charley, have you had any updates on the windshields?
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on April 08, 2015, 12:12:37 PM
Pedro,
   I have been in contact with the manufacturer twice a day for the last few weeks regarding a fiasco on Countach windshields. It is not them, it is the totally incompetent idiots at DHL. Let me make this very clear to all, DHL is the sorriest excuse for a company and the biggest bunch of absolute idiots that I have ever seen. The manufacturer has been extremely helpful in resolving this, and hopefully that resolution is only hours away, but give me just a few days so that they can stay focused on this. I agree that it is time for an update, probably even past time.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: autopro on April 08, 2015, 01:29:41 PM
I totally agree with you on DHL.  It took them 2 months to deliver 1 small part from Germany to the States.

Thanks for checking up!
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: BigPines on April 08, 2015, 03:26:25 PM
+1 on DHL. I've had nothing but problems with them. If they deliver at all, they are late.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on April 09, 2015, 04:42:11 PM
I just came out of a face to face with three DHL execs. This has nothing to do with the Merci windshields but I have heard it said to never underestimate the ingenuity of an idiot. They will find the only way to screw it up every time. I am convinced now that the person who said that was the President of DHL. I got home from that and their bill for $400 has arrived in the mail for sending the crate from my shop, the address on all of the shipping documents, to God knows where. And here is the best part. At the bottom of that bill there is a survey about how they are doing and they misspelled DHL!

I have an update, some good some bad, but progress. The bad is that they still have not been shipped, so we are still several weeks out. The good is that my manufacturer assures me that the fiasco over the Countach windshields and DHL has done absolutely nothing to strain our working relationship and that the delay on the Merci screens has nothing to do with that, it is simply workload. This really is not much of an update but it is all I have now. I am greatly relieved to know that the Countach situation is behind us and we are still good.

Post by: 76mx on July 06, 2015, 08:09:01 PM
Another update but first let me say that the product from this company has always been excellent but their customer service always seems to make every effort not to sell product. I talked to them personally today (no email) to confirm that the July-August ETA was to me and not the manufacture date. They confirmed that, confirmed that they have not been shipped (they have been paid for), and then told me that the manufacture date was supposed to be May. Now they are having to look into the logical question, what is their status and when will they ship? Hopefully more in the next few days.

Post by: 76mx on July 23, 2015, 03:50:40 PM
Pedro,
   With all the other I almost forgot the important business. Yes there are a few extras that I ordered for myself and I will sell him one. No need for a deposit at this late date, I will just consider it sold when it gets here. I knew that this shipment could take this long, but did not think that it would. Thank you for adding to the order instead of giving up on it.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: autopro on July 23, 2015, 09:56:05 PM
Not a problem Charley, thank you for making these available.   I let my friend know and he was very happy that he can get one also.

Sorry to sound like a broken record since I'm also waiting on other members glass needing distributed, but have you heard anything yet on there arrival date? Like I mentioned I will be close by next week, and it would be extremely convenient if I could pick it up then. I apologize for not responding earlier, must have missed your reply, I really do appreciate your offer for a place to stay etc. And will love to see your shop, but I'll be there on business and my time will be limited. I hope you understand and next time I'm in the neighborhood I'll be sure to buy you a beer or eight!!!  ::beers

Post by: 76mx on July 30, 2015, 09:55:42 PM
PLP, The latest on the glass is that they are trying to have it by the end of this month but promise it by the end of next month. I was hoping for more updated news in the few days left of this month. Unfortunately either way they have not been shipped and will not be here. You are still welcome if you have time.

UPDATE: I sent a message to my supplier last week stating that since I had not heard otherwise, I was pleased to know that my Merci windshields had shipped August 31st per my last info from them, and that I would like to get the Bill of Lading number so that I could track them. They responded today that they will be shipped September 23rd.

Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on September 10, 2015, 10:22:36 PM
Pedro,
   Ocean freight is not a precisely scheduled thing but my past experience is 4-6 weeks. Customs too is not on a schedule but windshields have never taken more than a day there in the past. Once all of that is done, it only takes 2-3 days to get them from Long Beach to Texas. I am much more concerned about them leaving September 23rd. Once they have finally shipped, it should be downhill from there.

Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on October 21, 2015, 09:49:13 PM
I got an email three weeks ago today that said the windshields were being crated. A week ago I sent an email asking why it was taking two weeks to crate them. No response. Today I sent an email saying that it is now three weeks to crate them and asking how long this process should take. I will let the Forum know as soon as I get a response.
Title: Re: Merci and Gallardo Windshields
Post by: 76mx on November 05, 2015, 11:27:08 PM
Our windshields are crated and DOT documented, the final payment has been processed, and they are about to be on the water. Ocean freight ETA's are not a certain thing but I should have one shortly to give us a close idea.

I have a shipment of DOT Merci windshields with built in antenna that are scheduled to arrive in USA December 28th. Pedro and his friends have deposits on three of them. I ordered 12 and all but two are sold. I originally intended to keep those two for my Concept Car but it will use a Countach windshield instead (which I also have a supply of on hand), so I have two more for sale, $1,000 each.

Satinta,
   I should have gone to this Forum first, you beat me by a few minutes! December 28th is the arrival USA date. I know they will be scheduled for X-Ray and that will take an extra day, then a few day rail ride to Texas. Should be just after the first of the year, finally. Everybody that put a deposit and made this happen is good at $750, those last two are $1,000.

Is it too quick or would the ones that are picking them up like to come this weekend? The final Customs bill is paid, the release is done, they are scheduled for tomorrow. Some of the people that have bought the first Chupacabras are flying in this weekend to check progress, a few more guests and we can have an event bigger than Carlisle.

The little white piece is the electrical connector clip, the colored wires are just to the left. Rare, medium, or well done?

To all that are having a windshield shipped, and I told that there would be a tracking number by the end of this week, my apologies but that is not going to happen until Monday. Crating a Countach windshield is my least favorite job and crating a Merci windshield, I have found over the last few days, is even more difficult. Never again will I only charge $100 to crate one. They are all crated, attached is a picture of two of the crates, but I finished too late to make shipping arrangements today. Again, my apologies and I will have that info as soon as they are picked up Monday.

The first wave of windshields were shipped out this last Monday. Everybody has been provided their tracking number and they should start arriving tomorrow. Thank you for your orders. For those of you picking them up, your steak is ageing well.

Got my windshield today. The delay was on my end, not Charley's.

This thing is beautiful. It is absolutely perfect. I can't say enough about how well it was packed. This guy knows how to pack glass! 100% happy here. Will purchase from him again as soon as the opportunity arises.

Thanks Charley!

Thank you too, Dustin. Go ahead and post your pics of the chassis. It is only top secret because I do not have a build diary. I would be interested in getting some opinions and feedback.

Any chance you ordered some extra murci windshields that are still for sale?  I'm really wishing I would have got in on this group buy now that I see how the maxima windshield lines up.

I did. I thought that it might be a good alternative to the Countach windshield for my Chupacabra project so I ordered two extra. Turns out it was not but I still have them.

Ahh, if only you'd have responded last week, lol.  I already modified my windshield frame to make mine fit better.  I'm sure someone will want it before long though.
