OK guys here is the status on the Wirbelwind.
Believe it or not ALMOST EVERYBODY who said that they were going to get one DID !!!!!! Also I have a couple of guys want 2 and another guy who wants 3 !!! That means I have 20 to make.
I really thought that I could do 3 in a day but it is not working out that way. I am managing about 1 1/2 to 2 a day. I have been working on these things almost every day since they have been up for sale. Luckly I have had a few jobs to do at my real job. It is working out that my cost is $15 per turret.
The Woofer offerd to make a full custom Wirbelwind and put it on e-bay for me. This is kindness that goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Hopefully this will sell well . Looking back at things the guys on this forum came through with flying colors. But I think I went a little cheap on the $85 price but that probably is why everybody who said they wanted one got one. The Woofer also said that some of the guys who I sold of the Wirbels to are some of his best customers. I hope I did not shoot myself in the foot by doing this. Because they would have been some of the guys who would have bid on the custom wirbel.
I have 12 TOTALLY BUILT and ready to be shipped. These will go out to the guys first ordered first shipped. THEY WILL BE SHIPPED ON MONDAY. I have 2 turrets made with enough pieces for 3 other turrets. Hopefully I will have the rest made TO BE SHIPPED OUT ON FRIDAY.
I have primered the turrets a gray color. Some of them needed to be touched up so I decided to paint all of the turrets. This is one of the reasons why this project is taking more time to produce. I am doing my best working on them evey day to try and make it so everybody gets theres before Christmas.
Thanks Guys,
Matthew,
The guys who sent payment on or before Nov 27. will be the guys who will recieve the first 12. You guys on lay away are actualy taking some of the heat off of me . This is a good thing.
