I'm happy for your sale Ben!
Napasteve made a real good choice!

But DAMN, they're selling...

725 is cheap for most of the "bespoke shit" that is needed to stick a 6 in a 914...

We SHOULD start another thread removing interest/traffic from his for-sale thread thus increasing the Ninja's chances to purchase said items...
It's the NINJA WAY!

I will host such an Event. I don't have to (or want to) manage all of it and if someone else would like a "seat at the table" lets talk!

I am not sure if we need another thread just yet. I still need to sell my inventory and pass my certs before the next move anyway.

I've got things to concentrate on as well.
I've got 31 cars to manage. 2 shops, 2 1k storage buildings.
Most are projects/organ doner carcasses (two 914s!)

Moms headed for assisted living and I'm the "Head Honcho/Grim Reaper".
I'd trade that crap off in a heartbeat...

Going through my dad's stuff has been taxing...
The dumpster out back has been FULL at each dumping.
"Downsizing" is an UNDERSTATEMENT!

Ben, do you anticipate ceasing all of your welding services? Your -6 shift linkage conversion, for example?...
I'm going to be needing one of those.

I will dabble but I will never again invest $20,000 plus in materials to sit on the shelf for years. My current run of filter consoles have been on the shelf for 3.5 years now. Down to about 20 ish left and I will for sure never do that again.

Shift rods, oil cooler mods, maybe FE mounts, engine sheet metal have the lowest costs on them so they will likely remain.

What I will do for some of the other products is take names of people interested in that product and then once I get to a certain number of committed folks with money down I will do a run of something.

Both the car and the tanks are beautiful, gem like...

Glad one of those tanks is MINE!

The wild part is that I don't even need it yet...

I might need one down the road, so I went ahead and bought it!

I'm guessing I will always be able to get my money back out if I don't.

Without a doubt. When I was making exhaust when I announced that was it they sold better than they had when I didn’t announce that was it. I think I will keep one for myself for another project someday.

I’m getting one. I’m betting 10 years from now, it will be the gold standard.
Maybe a young guy will buy the business from Ben and make them in the future but I’ll keep mine for the next project.
I had an extra set of his heat exchangers that I regret selling …

4 tank setups are going out today. Sheet metal should be done late next week. Heading out of town for 5 days then back at it. I have 5 more tanks to make for folks. Stay tuned

Well I have all but one sold and one pending payment.I will likely keep that for myself for some day If I build another car. Tanks will be NLA at this point unless there are a group of you wanting them then I will do a group buy. I am not interested in inventory anymore unless items sell. Maybe once the economy jumps back up and -6 engines come down in prices?
