R/C 914 Body Group Buy - Closed, Updated as order progresses Options

[djm914-6]

I'm just getting a feel for interest first. I've contacted the supplier to see if he's interested in shipping more of these to the US as well.

If this goes forward, I'll need payment up front and will of course offer painted bodies at a discount during the group buy period.

If you're interested, please let me know.

edit: Oh, depending on the EUR to Dollar exchange rate, the price shipped may be in the $40-$50 range, but I'm working on that.

Edit:
$33 per body
$12 shipping

If I have payment for more than 30 bodies by the time I order then, I'll refund you the $3 discount or put it towards a paint job. I want to place the order October 1st.

Now I just hope the Euro/Dollar rates don't change.

In hopes of getting a few more orders, I'm keeping the buy open till the end of the week. If you want to pay by paypal, please add 5% to the total and use airboston@comcast.net for the account.

Rob, PM sent.
Joe, I think we're ok, but I'll run the numbers just anyway.
Gwen, I think that was the same red I painted your's in. I still liked the pink car though.

I've run into a problem with my painting of these cars. I think I've PMed or emailed everyone affected, but just in case, here's whats going on. I ran out of chrome paint. I tried ordering my regular bottles from my supplier but they are on back order. I looked at the paint companied own website and they are advertising a blow out sale of their smaller bottles of chrome so I ordered two. That was three weeks ago at least. I don't have the paint, the company won't return calls or emails and they have my CC number. So that I don't delay my outstanding orders any longer, I ordered a rattle can of the chrome (looks as good, but isn't as precise, so it's more wasteful and makes removing the mask more difficult). I'm told that will arrive by the 10th or so.

On a side note, check out this guys car: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom.asp?id=19357

He's using HPI classic wheels that are painted out slightly to resemble Fuch rims.

David,
I got your PM... Sorry I haven't gotten back to you but they are gluing me back together little by little. Had surgery last week... Still not able to get around much.
Yes on the drilling for chassis...
Here is a pic of a real IPB Autosport racecar. As you can see it is just the same font but bold for the IPB part. If you can, I would want that across the top of the windshield...
