There is a list for those that are in and another list for those hoping that someone will drop out.
if you're not on either of those...you are likely not going to get one |

The people that sent checks would, at best, have to resend them as they have probably timed out by now. Even if it does get finished, there are several people that want them that are not in on the buy. Zach |

I think that Mark might be considering making a run of these for his store.
And I would buy them if he did, I think. Zach |

Well, not to sound rude but if he gets these done will he have the time to do a second run? Would he be opposed to working with someone like Mark on getting more of these?
I do not believe it would be the goal of anyone to undercut the work that has been done but rather speed up the process since some of us have more time to do this. |

I have talked to Steve about these kits twice. Once at Hershey last year, and once in his shop 2 years ago. I like his shop, and am interested in the kits. He does great work. Both times he indicated that he was not interested in making another run. Maybe things have changed, and once he gets all the bugs worked out he will change his mind. But given the fact that it has taken years at this point - literally- I would not hold my breath about it.
I am not suggesting that anyone undercut anyone. I am saying that if Aircooled Racing did not do a second run and Mark (or any of the other quality vendors we have on this site) marketed a kit, I'd be on board. There are a number of people that are interested in these that can not get in on this buy - assuming that it does in fact get finished. Why support Mittlemotor, when I can choose to support vendors that actively support us? Zach |

Sound like there is a need and the parts look pretty simple if you've got the time to put into it. Talk to George, I'm sure he would buy a few to stock also. Kev |

Why support Mittlemotor, when I can choose to support vendors that actively support us? Zach I suggested mittlemotor only because it has been another source for the original factory GT headlight kit As far as Steve go's he did me a favor in fabricating these kits for us from his Max Moritz Real GT. Their was plenty of oppportunity to get in on the start of the thread to get a kit. The actual cost that Steve had sold them for is less than what he has in material and time to make them happen, so your right there won't be a second run. And if it was such a snap to fabricate and sell at a reasonably price why hasn't someone done it already it's a snap when someone is copying what someone else has already done |

John -
I talked with Steve about two weeks ago and they weren't quite ready. Your note above intimates that they have been sold. Are they now ready? Either way, I'm sticking with Steve as he has put the time and effort into these. I know first hand the amount of effort it takes with orders for parts here. (And I only did decals!) Please let us know when we need to pay and finalize the deal. |

I read where there are two lists, the original list and one "just in case someone drops out" list. I couldn't find either to put my name on so I was just saying that if someone (anyone) made more that I would buy one and maybe two. |
