I still don't understand how this thing works. I assume in the pics that were posted back at the beginning of the thread (the "85% complete" pics) that the piece(s) that connect the pinion brace and the crossbar were missing?
Is it possible to get a picture of the kit installed looking straight up at the bottom of the car? From the pictures that have been posted I really don't have a good feel for where the kit attaches.
Thanks!

Cadillac Jack (AKA) Chris must be busy. I am the guy building these things. I will go ahead and post.
These units have not shipped yet. Sorry. The water jet guy blew a pump, pushing the plates back 2 days. Due to those 2 days, another job slid in front of these for welding. They are next in line. God willing and the creek dont rise, the welding will be complete Monday afternoon/evening. If the Powder coater can get right to them, they should be ready for packaging/shipping Wednesday. The powder coat guy is expecting them, but like the welding, something else may get in front of them because of the afore mentioned delay. Lets hope not.
Again, I am sorry for the delays, but believe me it is not due to lack of effort. |

Just an update.
I had to say "and the creek dont rise".
Tropical storm Fay has passed us, and now we are welding, welding, wleding. Hope to have these to powdercoat in the next day or two. Quote:

Are these kits being built to order or are you guys going to keep a stock of them?

I am building an initial batch of 10. I do not believe they are all sold yet. There should be a few left. If there is more demand, I will build more and try to stay out ahead of the pack. The first batch always takes the longest. I do intend to hold one back for the guy in Iraq. Quote:

All the other are spoken for.

Hey Chris,
Paypal sent to your email.
Do I have choice on powder coat color? I was just thinking black finish.
Thanks
Chris

3 units went to powdercoat today. The rest should go sometime tomorrow. I do not have a schedule on the powdercoat yet, but will post as soon as I do. The good news is that the jig is 100% and these things can go together now. I will take some pics as soon as a finished product is available. Quote:
