Feature Mustang Hats
First, upon logging into post this, I see the link on the top of the site. Thanks John for the surprise!
These last few months have been nothing short of interesting for me for a multitude of reasons. During this period, I have given a lot of thought about how and where I could take my small side business to a new level. In order for me to do this, I had to make a significant amount of changes to allow future expansion. I originally thought I was going to roll out the "revised" Show Car Customs starting in March, but to my surprise, it is coming much earlier, the first stage which was just released.
Most recently, I have been in communication with multiple car companies to learn what their restrictions and requirements are to design, create, and sell licensed items. In order to meet those requirements, I have to start somewhere now. I have decided to start out by selling things like posters, canvas prints, shirts, hats, etc.
I have been researching baseball cap brands and looking at potential vendors and the services they provide. Now at the end of the research, I am having a small, low-quantity run order made to try the company out. I thought about what to do, realized I already had an LX Mustang convertible outline, and then decided it would be a good test product. After talking with John, it was agreed that this would be a good test market. So here they are!
Over the next few months, expect to see lots of other products. Not sure when the next Feature-specific product will come out, but expect to see more (mostly because I'm partial... lol)! In addition to these caps being available on the site, I also have a Special Service Package (SSP) Mustang poster rolling out as well. The posters are currently being made and will be ready to ship in about 2 weeks.
Regular price is $26.00 each. Pre-order price is $22.00 each. If you use the Coupon Code "twfssp15" when checking out, you'll get an additional 15% off, making it just $18.70 each when pre-ordered. This coupon is only valid on the Fox Feature Mustang caps and the SSP poster and expires February 1st. If you have any questions, just let me know!
*** NOTE: These caps will be a one-time only run. Once they are sold, they'll be gone forever. These are going to be 3D "puff" embroidered (as opposed to traditional flat embroidery) and will begin production on February 4th, so I'm free to change quantities up to February 1st. You can expect to have them in your possession as early as the second full week in February. I will be adding just a couple extras of each color to the order, so if you're certain you want one, I suggest placing an order soon!

I totally like the idea of limited time offering for items.
Like I said in my email, if you want to customize the banner just send me something or I could even reference it from your site. I even wouldn't be offended if you wanted to do an animated GIF. Just not too much flashing. You are a good friend and I don't mind showing my support.
I'll look into the green tonight and tomorrow. I want to make sure "7-Up" isn't copyrighted anywhere. 7-Up had some legal issues a year or two ago and strapped down on their brand due to the constant changes over the years to the branding policies. If it is copyrighted in text, than I won't do it at this time just because buying the copyright would cause the price of the cap to be a few hundred each... lol! If it's not copyrighted, then I'll be more than happy to add it.
Is the last question for me or John? If it's for John, please disregard the rest of this paragraph. If it is for me, you can sign up at the site and put them in your cart and order with credit/debit card, paypal, check/money order, or if you are adding custom order items (such as show boards, business cards, etc), you can select "Submit for Quote". Items will not ship until payment is cleared.
***A note about the website and shipping***
I am working on an update to the website. I'm changing the checkout system to a one-page checkout system to fix a glitch in appearance where you have to click the actual words for payment and shipping options. If you click the words, it will function fine and is still safe and secure. If for some reason it doesn't, please contact me immediately. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can PM me here or e-mail/call me from the contact form on my site .
Due to increasing prices in shipping, I'm taking $1.00 off of the actual shipping cost and supplying all of the packaging for free. Due to the rising prices of USPS shipping as of 1/27 and a phone call I got the other day from FedEx, I might be changing my shipping arrangements from USPS to FedEx. Plus, due to a package I recently had USPS send to my house, it put a bad flavor in my mouth when I got it.
Keep in mind, the coupon code is only valid 'til the end of TODAY , February 1st. After that, the caps will be the price as marked on the site!
Please note that these images are mock-ups and are not the actual items. I will post pictures as soon as I receive them!
In this upgrade, it should also fix the cart error when adding new products. Come to find out, if you are running Windows 7 and using Firefox or IE, the website security would sometimes prevent some products from being added until the user cleared their cache and history. Luckily, this was the only issue (2 people experienced it) out of the several thousand visits the site has received. IMO, not bad for a new website! I have readjusted some things to fix this. In addition, it will have a true one-page checkout system in the next day or two.

Due to the high eBay fees, I'll only list them when they run promotions from here on out. When all is said and done, it cost me over $5 just to sell one on eBay. No wonder everyone calls it ePay and FeeBay!
You can purchase them on the SCC website here.
Love the screen name by the way!
The Yellow Mustang Registry is once again going out on their Carlisle tent again this year and is decorating their tent in a patriotic theme. In addition, they have made arrangements with the Wounded Warriors Foundation to accept donations at their tent, so John and I have arranged that $5 from every hat sale will be given to the Wounded Warriors Foundation on behalf of the club.
If anyone wants me to put one or more aside for them, just let me know.
