VC arrived today! Thanks Octaneguy!!

WOW what a nice kit! I know one could easily source all the components in the kit yourself, but I honestly don't think you would save a dime! This kit is a huge bargain, without a doubt.

The assembly is very nice, the documentation is top-notch! I like the little postcard/ad - it was very well designed, very professional! Honestly the only part of the kit that gives it away as a home job is the drill holes on the handles - they are all slightly off, you can tell you do it by hand. You might just make up a quick jig for apperance. Functionally though it's an A+ kit!

I'm going to have some fun this weekend with it for sure...especially now that we have another new car to play with it on

And thank you very much for getting it out before you left for the Dragon - hopefully any vids I post will help spur your sales!

Thanks for the comments. Enjoy your new VacuCam! And yes, you got me on the handle. I use a drill press and do a large batch--usually around 40 or 50 at a time. Been meaning to use a jig but haven't gotten around to it--just clamp and drill.

However, if the hole becomes a weak point because it was off centered, I will replace it, however I check each one, and typically, the amount that is off, isn't significant, mainly because the area I drill is surrounded by thick molding, which helps keep the tolerance tight enough.

But no worries, I back up and guarantee my products.

Thanks for your order! Looking forward to seeing some videos!

Richard

I have no concerns regarding any of the product as far as function. The hole comments are purely for cosmetics
