John,
I've been following this thread since Nov 2006 and indicated I would buy a kit if it was sub $300 back on 1st Dec 2006. Recently I've seen mention of a 'list' and some confusion about whether money should have been sent or not.
(One one thing more frustrating than waiting all day for a bus. That's waiting for a bus all day, only to find there is no room on it when it arrives !)

Would it be possible to clarify who exactly is on the 'LIST', how many kits are going to be made and what price these kits are likely to be now they are nearly finished.
Many thanks
Andrew

Update:
Just spoke to Steve Limbert of Air Cooled Racing who owns the Max Mortiz (914/6 GT.

He will be making a first run of 24 units of the GT Headlight Kit , at a cost of $339.00. This will be a duplicate of the parts that are in his GT.

All parts will be Cad plated and powdercoated this will be a complete bolt in kit.

To order a kit contact Steve direct at Air Cooled Racing 1-717-432-4116, he said the kits should be ready in about a month.


There my be some additional kit you need to contact Steve directly.

Just thought I would throw out a teaser, even though I am not even on the list. I was over at Air Cooled Racing yesterday. Ended up talking with Steve for about an hour. I saw the kits. They look great. He is waiting for the cables, everything else is done.

Jeez, give the guy a break. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) He offers to build us a 914 6 GT headlight kit and he is waiting on a cable issue. He wants to do it right.

If you are tired of waiting, then build it or find it yourself. Its not like you have paid for the things and not received them!

I'll bet there are a few who would love to have your place in line!

I am happy to wait. I like his kit and I would like it to work without cable problems.

When its ready, its ready.

I rubbed my lamp and the gennie inside said he couldn't even make them without any issues so I will still wait. I am happy to see someone as anal about quality as I am.

Sounds like everything might be together. He just wants to test fit on a car and take pictures.

I don't think there's any need to ruffle feathers on either side of the fence. I don't think Stephen was complaining... he made a joke and said he's is "waiting patiently". Steve's joking about it when I spoke to him on the phone. He was worried about being "Lynched" at Hershey. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

There's no doubt this has taken longer than any other group buy out there. Well over a year ago it was going to be a month.

I think we all need to understand that Steve runs a very successful race shop and he has many "bill paying" projects to attend to. With all the time and effort put into this I doubt he's making any coin on it. Also, he wants to do it right.

Hang tight, bump the thread every now and again and, that fateful day will come. There's "really" no need to get worked up or piss anyone off over something as simple as this.

"Hang tight, bump the thread every now and again "

That was my intent.. I spoke to him last week and thought..hey bump the thread in case some one else has some updated info.

Heck, he already has my $....
