That's the one :) I just can't find it all shined up. I hope it made it...but am okay if it didn't. There are only about 20 runners up for my first choice.

I am almost positive that the door is here. It is top row, fourth from the right. The body color looks different.

I think that one is the same as top row, third from the right.


I am getting a headache! And my neck is hurting! Those two are very similar. I think you might be right on that. I thought I found the other one, but now I won't say for sure! LOL

Hey Rachael

If you can't make a sale night you could consider finding someone who is not planning on buying one to be your proxy buyer. Im trying to help Pietro to get his.....just a thought....:)

I may have to. The only problem is, I have not decided which one I like the best! I love them all. Kind of hoping to not miss the sale-or that it falls at a time when hubby can be home to snag one for me. We shall see I guess!

Well if you do get someone to buy for you make sure they have a 2nd & 3d choice just in case. That way your assured to get one you want. :)

Ok folks just so yo no for sure the mods wont be done this week .I just started to assemble these and its going slower then I even anticipated . It will speed up there is always a learning curve on a new build but these mods are very tight and I have big hands. The sale will fall on a weekend that I can tell you for sure I don't want people losing time from work to buy a mod that is already expensive .

It's really nice of you to be so considerate of those that have to work. But, I can't help wondering what "already expensive" implies. Don't comment Rob, just give it your best shot when you get all your costs together. Estimating isn't a science and there are two types ... WAG's & SWAG's. A WAG is a Wild Azz Guess. The best is a SWAG ... Sophisticated Wild Azz Guess.

It's interesting that you mentioned learning curve, which by the way is a science and there are formulas for calculating it. Hand fabricating and assembly work is sensitive to learning, but CNC's aren't. Once programming, set-up and proofing time is worked out, the actual CNC machining time is constant. CNC's don't learn. It takes the same time "per piece" to machine 1 piece as it does 1,000 pieces. Convincing a customer of that is another story. They want the same price whether they order 10 or 1,000 pieces throughout the year. So that's what we give them ... each order consists of one set-up charge plus a price per piece and everybody is happy.

Take your time :) rather have them done with care than just thrown together (not saying you would do that!)

Everyone is just so excited for another excellent mod from Mr. Reo himself!!

Sent from my US740

For sure. As much as we kid around about wanting them not now but right now :) just do what you do best and take all the time you need to do it. You mentioned many times you love making these REOs and it would be a shame to change that just to hurry to get them done....tho DONE probably sounds pretty good to you at this stage of the process. :laugh:

This is not absolutely written in stone (so, please no one take it that way!) BUT.... He said in this thread, days ago, that he figured ~$200. He said he wanted to get some assembled before he made a firm price...

No picks tonight sorry .The remainder of the mods should be ready tomorrow I hope

I will have the mods on the site for a couple days before sale night.
As far as the price goes I want to put some of these together before I set a price.If I was to guess I would guess around $200 for a standard vv woodvil

Here is where my above statement came from. :)
