I got mine from Dark hourse performance last year....they had it in stock and shipped it right out. Just a word of advise though, the xmember wasn't quite right and required a little work on my end to get it to work.

I made my own, using the Windsor-Fox version as inspiration. 1 hour to get the tranny in place (held up by a jack), 1 hour of measuring, 1 hour of prototyping, 1 hour to have the welder make it (he's got the good welder and steel stock) = 4 hours and a total cost of $35, and I didn't have to wait for it to come on a brown truck.

I am waiting on NPD. They said 30 in this week with only 16 already sold. I gave up on Sacramento Mustang. I was considering Windsor Fox or Ron Morris as well but NPD had the best pricing next to Sacramento. I can only wait so long myself.

GT2K 30, sounds like you talked to the Florida store they are the ones that told me they are dropping their currnet vender for them and have a new one set up that will be cheaper, called all the NPD stores and all except Charlotte told me they would be in last Friday

I talked to NC. They are the main distribution center for the other stores. I would not set my watch to it, but this is what they claimed. To think I walked by a guy with a little booth at Carlisle a couple years ago that had 'em right there for $80 ... never thought I'd be needing one

NC is where I normaly go, it's about an hour away, Goodluck

Got a 1968 AOD crossmember from Ron Morris Performance in less than 3 days in December for $150 including shipping and tax. Not super cheap, but it was fast. Haven't had time and $$ to install yet though so I can't say about it fitting.

My '67 AOD crossmember came from NPD but it was a windsor-fox part. That was 3 years ago.

 

[GT2K]

I just got off the line with NPD... they say about 30 Days now. I said to refund me. Just placed an order online with Ron Morris, I figure if NPD is selling Windsor Fox then maybe Ron will have them. After this I'm going to try one more possible source, I'm willing to pay a little more now to actually get one.

 

[GT2K]

Maybe I'll just get out the welder (my brother ) and take this on myself soon.

 

[sand1man]

I broke down and made one myself, it cost 10 $ and took a welder a cutting torch some flat bar and some c channel worked out real good and only took a couple of hours, now all I have to do is grind down the welds and poweder coat it
