I spent some time today tweaking it just a bit in a few spots that I was unhappy with, I also spent some time on those top angles. Ill try to get some pics posted up tonight (off the car) and tomorrow I will get a bunch more taken on the car..

We are getting really close. Once all of you are happy with it I will start production. If you have any concerns or suggestions speak now or forever hold your peace

Are you planning on selling these on an ongoing basis, or is this a 1 shot deal? I have other commitments right now, but would be interested in a couple of months. Thanks

Honestly its up to how much interest is there. I will be selling them in batches... It is too expensive to make them one at a time so I will get a group of about 20 or so people before I have them produced. This is how I am able to get the price so low for you guys.

Its not that I do not want to keep a stock of these to be able to sell one at a time.. Its the paint. Right now I am not charging any extra for paint. I am getting a really good deal from a friend as long as it is for large orders. If I were to sell one at a time the price would go up significantly. I can however keep a stock of just primered ones to be able to sell one at a time.. Price would stay the same this way.

The pic on my site is the same pic that I first posted on this forum. it is a photoshop version I created to get the idea out there before I spent time building it. The pic on my site will be updated once I get a finished product.

Can you describe to me what exactly you mean? In my opinion they look very similar.

that is part of what I was referring to earlier.. I touched them up a bit to look parallel with each other and also flow with the lines of the fender. Closer pics will clear this up...

Maybe I missed this before, but where do you expect the price point for this to fall?
