The numbers mean the order it was paid and the order it will be shipped. Group Buy is now CLOSED Ben

If it is, I just broke it down to a more easily read format. Is that all of them? I thought there were more group buyers for the v-mount. Looks like one person in that list just got the battery kit and hood dampers.

1. SpeedOfLife/MaczPayne
3. eage8
4. incubuseva
5. wazway
6. SpeedyRotary
7. Michael Connolly (AUS)
8. BurntOrangeT2
9.

1. SpeedOfLife/MaczPayne - will ship on the July 31st 2014 or I have to pay 500 to speed of life. I am not making any more commitments like this to anyone else, sorry.
3. eage8 - shipped (I chose him first because I did not have a running car to test the kit and he was able to put it through its paces-it was a major payoff to you guys and a life savor for me)
4. incubuseva - next
5. wazway
6. SpeedyRotary
7. Michael Connolly (AUS)
8. BurntOrangeT2

+ 3 kits sold at new pricing - 2600 vm kit alone, these will start when the complete GB is done.

I found a spot for the ps cooler, it goes above the oil cooler. It also uses the factory mounts for the new ps cooler.. cool

I have install instructions for it all, but I need to finish the current kit and get it out before I make the instructions as those will take about a day or so.

speedoflife heres your kit (no ac and no ps) and everyone else this is what you can expect to get.

I just finished it right now and I should be able to pack it all up and ship it out tomorrow.

p.s. yes everything on the table comes with the kit, ps cooler ps lines and ac adapter brackets not shown but are in the install instructions.

The final kit looks wonderful, makes me wish I could have gotten on the group buy, been watching this thread and all the changes youve had to make to the kit. The final price once the group buy ones are shipped will be 2600? Just making sure I read that right.

2600 to 2700

I have to re calculate it just to make sure but yeah around 2600, you can see the pics of all the parts and I feel the price and the work I put into it is justified. also this is why it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to make each kit.

but since I have parts in stock I can now make 2 at a time.

I have FD and FC kits back logged.

I am taking next week off then I will be build 5 vm kits at the same time. 3 of the same on the FD side and 2 of the same on the FC side. I have to tend to everyone and its really hard since I have a normal job too..

But I am trying really hard to build these smarter and more efficiently. time to sleep I have work in 3 hours.

yes the fan shroud was a lot of work but its at the least a fan shroud and it should help when at a stand still. Its not air tight but it will do the job.

thank you all, but more thank you all for hanging in there for me and allowing me to fulfill these orders

ok back to work

Ben btw I just installed my hood damper kit. Wow. These are top notch. Fit great and work like a charm. It's nice not having the prop in the way and having the hood open more. Just wish there were some instructions. I got it after the first side tho. Now I just need to adjust the hood a little. Fantastic job.

If the vmic is the same or better quality as these and the battery tray, then I'm really excited.

Oh, I wish they came anodized or powder coated too. Bare aluminum is a bit too flashy for my taste. But primer and rattle can took care of that.

sorry, the instructions are on my site... well very detailed pics are anyways.

anodized will be 75 but you can get what ever color you want.

minimum fee is 125 for the powder coater, but if you want it done for free, I can make it the same color as your frame you can ship me just the hood brackets when I have your frame done and then they will come back with your kit.

I will offer this for everyone who got hood dampers with the vm kit.

yes the vm fits solid but you have to loosely put it together in a sequence before you tighten it completely down, this will allow ease of the holes to line up.

I want to give EAGE8 a special thanks in testing it for me because I did not have a running car to do it on. This redesigned kit is the result from his feedback.

The fan shroud like I said is not 100% sealed but more like 95%.

On another note, I learned a new medical term after working in the sun for the past 2.5 years.

Actinic Keratosis, I just had 11 spots frozen from my hands to my neck, so now I have to wear long sleeves, a hat and use sunblock....bummer

Itll take a week for them to fall off, what a great way to spend my vaca from the business.d
