Toes, I have a feeling you want a widebody. Isn't this the 2nd one you've found in a week? I'd take the engine, it's one of the options I'm looking at to put in the REPU.

It's an SA in Wolf's clothing. Never saw a widebody with SA baby buggy bumpers before. Looks better than I would have thought.

Definitely good looking. Widebodies can definitely set an SA/FB off right.

That kit was designed for SA bumpers, same as mine, Dan's and maybe luiml73's. I didn't have any SA bumpers to install on mine and I'm looking for a good set. I like them on the kit.

It's interesting how the "look" of these huge widebodiies seem to be growing on alot of your guys. I know I initally had the "thats too wide reaction" first time I saw this kit, but the look really grows on you.

Like Trochoid mentioned the kit is meant to use the SA bumpers. But it just so happens that the FB rear bumper still bolts up. But I believe the FB front bumper requires modification in order to use it.

Who would be up for some fiberglass reprodcution SA bumpers with fabricated mounting brackets?

Do you have them availible now and what is the price? I need them no later than Feb. maybe March. I doubt if there would be much demand from just the kit owners. Adding in the SA owners will increase demand somewhat.

The molds are in the process as we speak. I had not pushed them to the front of the new product line, but if someone needs a set I will. Not sure on a reatail price yet but should be verry competitive, as all of our stuff is. I could be ready to ship parts as late as one month.

Trochoid, yes it is the 2nd widebody i've posted in a week. Actually tho, i don't want a widebody, but don't get me wrong, they are nice. I like the stock look, but its cool to see widebodys.

what sets a widebody apart from the rest is the paint and wheels, hands down. THat is a beautiful car. And man is the presentation sweet or what?
