**Welcome to the Group Buy thread for SA Recall from
me and ThatTravL.

scroll down for the keyboardy stuff.
More
Set the mood with some tunes.
The smell and feel of hot vinyl seats that have been
baking in the sun all day. The static and tinny sound of the
AM radio. Paul Harvey’s voice and The Beach Boys in mono
sound. Being crammed into the back seat, watching the road
emerge from under the car. Watching dad change gears and
sticking your hand out the window and making it “fly” just
to pass the time.
Our childhood was filled with these
memories thanks to a relatively crummy car: the
Ford
Pinto
Station
Wagon. Memories arent perfect, and neither was the Pinto.
Developed
and released in 1971 as a strong competitor to smaller,
fuel-efficient cars, this car was meant to appeal to the
budget-oriented consumer. Fast-forward to 1978: after a fuel
crisis and Recalls, this car got a special edition trim: The
Cruising
Wagon. Only 15,000 out of 10 million of these cars were
made in order to appeal to the aging muscle car generation
in an effort to help them Recall their youth by looking
sporty…while still only managing to put out 90-100
horsepower and getting 20 to 30 miles per gallon.
To
gearheads, the Pinto has been a joke with its own punchline.
Its a car that was hated and feared amongst the public and
adored by only the very few. Our father was the proud owner
of a 76 regular wagon in blue. He had used it for everything
from road trips to hauling calves. He loved the Pinto so
much he bought his eldest son (ThatTravL) a 77 wagon in
banana yellow.
Many years later, we’ve started to miss
these cars, what they were, and how special they truly were
to us…even if we didn’t understand it as children. We also
coveted the rarest of the rarest trim and the inspiration of
the colors for this set. SA Recall is a celebration of our
childhood. It’s essentially a way for us to Recall the best
memories of times gone past. We hope it helps you ask the
question, “what memories do I want to Recall?”

With
this kitting we’re hoping to put larger groups of users
together and price them at a higher MOQ to drive the
traditional
pricing of SA down to a more affordable
level. Please provide your feedback in the IC form linked at
the top and bottom of this thread.
BASE
We’re hoping to accommodate the most popular layouts
with this kit. TKL, 75%, 65%, and 60%.
ALTS + ISO
The idea here is to have our common 40s friends,
(admittedly basic support) ISO users, and Alice/split
spacebar friends help each other
with a mutually
beneficial kit instead of having marginally cheaper kits
with less in them.
NUMPAD
Numpad and 1800 support. Pretty straightforward.
ORTHO
Obviously the gradient is different here and in the
Ergo kit below. We tried an awful lot to keep consistency of
the downward and upward
angles shown in the base but
ultimately decided that aesthetically this works better.
Plus, it’s actually still true to the inspiration
since
the back stripes are horizontal on the body.
ERGO
Honestly, I’m not too familiar with ergo layouts but
I love the idea of being as inclusive as possible and I
haven’t yet offered ergo
support for a set I’ve done.
As with everything else, please provide any feedback in the
form.
