In the next few days Im going ramble off some tips and tricks for this kit. IMO I think its a pretty straight forward kit. The part that takes the most thinking is probably the front suspension. Besides that I really dont see a right or wrong way of putting this kit together you can assemble it a number of ways to improve things or avoid mistakes. Some of the things that you need to know is what to drill for adding the front suspension. I added little dimples on the car to show the proper drilling locations, all you have to do is get some 0.020 brass rod and a 0.0225 drill bit to press fit the brass rod into the suspension parts.   |

Great job as usual Michael. Those decals met the standard Calvin set with this kit. Kudos to both of you.
Now, as members here buy these kits, let's keep this thread going and post your thoughts on being the "lucky ones". Good luck and good buying. I know you won't be disappointed.

For all that have paid or will be paying by tomorrow. I'll have them shipped off by tomorrow morning.
I print my own shipping labels and it comes with a USPS Tracking number.
Most of you guys should get it/them by Wednesday or Thursday.

That was impressive! I went to a hockey game, tried to see how sales were via the ebay app on my iphone and they're all gone.  Awesome job guys. Now I want to hear from the buyers. Will you do your kit as a Johncock or an Andretti? |

Post by clm1545 on Mar 13, 2011 23:57:54 GMT -5
So, Calvin, my quick math says that you were doing about 50 grand per hour in sales. That's real big time, my friend.
Take Care
Craig
