    No luck getting in contact with Gabe.

    Just FYI….back in July there was a Go Fund Me page set up for him…apparently he had a pretty bad stroke.  He might still be recovering from that.

    Looking good.

    ^^^I don’t envy threading the throttle cable through the barrel on that one.

    Sounds like Luis is going to start making the mats again in about a week.  He’s posted the order numbers in the sequence they were ordered, so Juan can check against that to see how far out his are from getting made.  Hopefully you’re just looking at a few weeks.

    Why not both?  That Travolta silhouette looks like it could easily be arranged so that it is riding that rainbow-farting unicorn.  Need me to knock out a quick photoshop?

    That mat kit may be a while.  They’re worth waiting for though as the quality of mine is top notch, they’re “correct” for the car, and are otherwise unobtainable.  Juan may want to email Luis and see if he’s looking at weeks or months before his set is done.

    Here’s the latest from Luis of Low Light Werks, posted on 9/18 on The Samba:

    Dear Karmann Ghia lovers,

    This post took longer that I wanted. I have been working on a plan to resume production as soon as possible, to fulfill all pending orders.
    Finally, I see light at the end of the tunnel! A VW enthusiast has offered me his help to accomplish this. With his support, Low Light Werks will be able to work fulltime to continue fulfilling orders and taking new ones!
    We are working on the paperwork and should be completed shortly. As soon as I can, I will post a projected delivery schedule.

    I really appreciate your support and patience. Over a year ago I made the goal to reproduce the Low Light bulkhead mat, that wasn’t available for over 50 years! It was harder than I ever expected, fortunately, today this is a reality and owners that received their set really love them!

    Thank you again for your support!

    Luis

    Just FYI….John Copellos sells a really nice 58/59 horn rebuild kit if you need more than the brass ring.  These pieces can be like hen’s teeth.
