It has been a busy week, and it is not yet finalized! I will receive final information early next week. So those of you who are in the group (17-18 now I think) need to decide by the middle of next week. I have updated the Bat Cave with the latest infomation, so check it out.
On thing that I have learned this past couple of weeks is that the companies that are still in business making these parts are making good parts. There is little variation in the quality from what I can judge after my my conversation with the producers/venders and from the feedback of Pelicanites that have purchased parts.
If you think you will get a part and bolt it on in a few hours, think again. Read the threads of others who have installed the parts. I went after parts the were reported to have good quality. I also wanted parts that will only require fitting and drilling. Prep and paint is a given. I will do my own prep work and may have someone shoot it for me. But then again, it'll be a good time to buy a paint gun and put my monster (to me) compressor to good use. And it'll be a good primer for my big paint job (the whole car) this summer.
I expect to do work on my parts, because no matter whose part I buy, it'll never be good enough. I'll post a thread or webpage when I get my parts to document the installation process.
I will post another page to give a more candid opinion of the parts (sight unseen
). I tried to limit (tough for me to do) judgement on the infomational page, but on the "decisions" page I will share my honest opinion (much easier to do) so those of you on the fence might tip and fall on my side
Thanks all for your interest in the group buy. Once this is over, we'll get back to the true spirit of this thread...pictures of Yellow Birds
