Man, I can't wait to see this thing finished!

[AndrewSi]

Lookin good, you know when its going to be done?(painted with the kit on)

[funkmaster]

should be done by the time the weather turns nice at the very latest.
judging by the progress so far, 2-3 weeks.

Sweet!
how's the panel gap fit on the fender so far?

[Maine_Honda_Racer]

Gah, pictures come up as red x's for me!!! I want to see the progress!

[funkmaster]

wierd, I havent had anyone else say they cant see the pics...
Maybe I should upload them to my RPR gallery too.

Panel gap looks great. They actually made teh gaps smaller in some places by building up more FG on the panels.
Lots of customizing to make this kit look right... just an FYI for anyone thinking about purchasing it, if its even still available.

I e-mailed the houseman store a month ago. He said that the actual price, for the 9 piece set, is 1850 USD. My problem is the shipping costs, which is about 2000 USD to Portugal... I wish I had a ship...
However, Man, that is a very nice looking car! Were can I find a mugen steering wheel ?

Ebay or Honda-tech are your best bets for finding a Mugen wheel.
Yeah the kit is expensive. He must have raised his prices since I bought mine.
By the time you buy the kits, ship it and have someone install/paint it youre talking around $5000 or more.

Thank you for the compliments everyone!

The US dollar has gone down a lot since he first started making them. I glad I bought mine before he stopped making them. One busted mold is all it takes.

Who said Housman stopped making them?

[funkmaster]

He never stated publicly that he was. When I was there picking up my kit he said he was seriously considering stopping selling them due to all the call he got but no sales. He said he got many calls every week but almost no buyers. He said in the 5-6 years hes been selling the kit hes had less than 15 sales.

can't wait to see it done. best wishes.

Who said Housman stopped making them?

Sorry I didn't choose my words very carefully. Mr. Houseman still makes them. I was glad to get mine prior to him stopping them, if that ever happens.

for the CF spoiler if you're gonna get it painted, why not have the hondo logo masked in the rear or something like that, so after paint the honda emblem shows through in CF?
