Nice pictures of the fit Beaner. Did you say you were going to paint yours? I'm a little jealous.

Great pix, Bean.

Lemme guess your real next project. It's about replacing the driver seat.

But will you replace it with the plastic folding chair? Or the hobby horse?

That looks fantastic.... you need to carry that black theme down the back to the license plate. That would look really good with the CG hood and black top......

Hey Med, nowhere in this thread Can I find out what the cost of this hood is. I live in the Seattle area and could pick it up. I am interested. Please let me know.

This was a limited run group buy... I think only 10 or 12 total were built for guys who paid up front... unless Med does another build there will be no more.....

bowlman... looks great...

we could have lots of fun with captions for the second pics with the hood up....


the girl in front with hand out is saying... 'c'mon, just look at it'

How about the lady with the purse and her arm up around he mouth... looks like she is looking at a gruesome body or about to hurl......

It was a special request that I put together for Rudy before the original mold was modified deleting the lines while adding the vents and raised cowl......

All,

I will be back up and running in about 2 weeks. I'm thinking about running a second round Bulk Buy of 10 Units. Price will be determined by the total number of deposits collected. PERIOD Send PM For more information or just respond with your name added to the list. Once list is completed, forum Bulk Buy protocol will be followed accordingly. Guests Please take the time to start a Forum Profile. I will not waste time this 2nd time around with emails and phone calls from forum guest.

Let me know ASAP

I am not a fan of Carbon Fiber, but I must say that white car with the dark hood looks awesome! Nice job.

Does anyone plan to paint theirs, or is that a sin?

Why do you torment me so...will let you know. What was the deposit on the last group buy? $1000? and what do you think the turn around time will be on this run, since there is not R&D to be done?

$350 Deposit

$600 Due Balance

(+ FedEx Shipping) Sorry just FedEX


As of right now, I can get 10 units @ $949

If and only if they are all paid for on time prior to bulk delivery.

Turn around time 20 Business days!!! I'll be shipping them from Seattle Now and not Saint Louis.

Thanks,

Med
