Thanks for letting me know. That is really good to know going on forward. I guess it's probably to combat spam?
 
Summer 2018 Batch is in the works. I'll be opening it up for deposits here in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

After some thought, I'll be opening up the batch for orders early this round. Expect it to be an evening this week when I have time.

Also, in regards to those who have thought there is a list:
because of past issues, I do not have one. I recommend "watching" the thread and opting to receive email notifications. This is the surefire way to be notified when the batch becomes available.
 
Hey everyone, thanks for your patience over the past several months while I have been finishing up classes. I am now ready to accept deposits for the current batch of swing out kits. Please PM me if interested and to secure your spot in this batch.

Thanks,
Garrett
 
Kits are all sold out! Thanks to everyone who got in on this batch. I will be updating everyone as soon as they are ready to ship.

Any way to incorporate at stop for the swing out? That's a down side to this kit. You (and anyone else who opens it) really needs to pay attention and not just let it swing open. You will most likely rip the strut off! Otherwise, great kit!

Yeah having an outward stop is something I have thought about, but I haven't come up with anything plausible. With the different bumper wings and trims, I haven't found a way to incorporate a pop pin plate in the limited space that would suit the different wing shapes. I'm starting to think it would have to be a design tweak to the manufacturing of the spindle, but I don't manufacture those so that isn't really under my control.

The strut is only there to hold it open. Whenever I open a swing out, I just hold onto the latch until it's fully open.

I do the same, but I can see some people who aren't aware if this may not (family or friends).
 
Final invoices have been sent out. All kits will be available for local pick up / shipped out by Saturday assuming payment has been received. Thanks again everyone!

Sorry I am currently all sold out but I may do a small run of them towards the end of summer, but I'm not sure yet.
 
Tire carrier showed up today! Unfortunately I’m traveling for work, but when I get home, I’ll post some photos.
