Quick Update:
I received the kit yesterday... no instructions included, but it's here. Thanks to Gunner for forwarding his instructions.
I'll keep you updated on my progress, but for the record, I'm going to let my 4 year-old build it, so it will look NOTHING like Gunner's!
Best to all.

I hope he gets back in touch, I don't want to have to give in and buy an Aimsworth ACES!

Umm, yea screw that! And that's just the basic seat without the 3 detail kits, which adds another $767.00 on top of the price of the basic seat!

Well not so much, although I think I am missing some stuff. I've already spoke with Stang and he is emailing me the instructions so I can verify that I have everything or what I'm missing.
You see I got the box with a nice fist size hole in it

I thought I got that box! That's great it finally came though. I've had a blast building mine, I hope the same for you.

Congrats Panther,
Have you started on your seat? My problems with Tejay still linger. The kit I have is incomplete with no instructions. so I believe I am going to have to fabricate parts on my own and build with a blind eye. I have spoke with Gunner and Whack. Gunners instructions are good but I think they are for the previous version of the seat. I am trying to find someone with the newest version of the seat. Did you get the new version? Any help would be appreciated. I am also soliciting Whack since he just built his. Any help would be appreciated. Again, major congrats on joing a great team.

Seat is still in the box. The instructions that Stang Email me are for the older gen seats and I have the Gen6. So its going to be a guessing game when it comes time to build.
I did learn a valueable lesson; I was going to buy the complete cockpit from Stang. Not any more...
