Quick update: I've completed the machining portion of the project. Today I will be polishing the tubes and tomorrow I will begin assembly.
There's a good chance that the first kits and buildups will be available by Friday night. I will probably be sending out pm's with payment information (or tracking numbers for those who have pre-paid) at that time for those of you on the waiting list.
Again, if anyone is interested in getting a kit, please let me know before the end of the week.
Also, I have a kit that with a switch area that was machined in the wrong spot. It's off by about 1/4", so if anyone is interested in that one, I'm willing to knock $50 of the total price for it.
