Lastly, being a visual consumer myself, IMO finished photos would help push any fence riders into buyers

Congrats on your venture !

Thanks for the ideas. with school it's hard for us to find time to get everything done but were working diligently on it. Were building a website now that has ALL the details, finished pictures, and even a video of it actually working and starting the car.

And alot of people are showing interest in the 2 key idea. Once we get the key-knife going now, were going to start working on a multi-tool version that will have multiple keys.

If anyone wants one, we may be able to do a group buy on Yotatech. Spread the word guys, get 10 people wanting to buy one, and we'll give you a discount on them

Lets get the idea out there!

Silver & Blue. We had red, but there was a shipping problem and we didn't get the parts :/

But i was thinking, how hard is it to either spray paint, or powder coat the frames to any color? Then we could offer a whole spectrum of colors.

Powder coat would probably be the better option from a durability stand point...
You'd have to talk to a powder coat co.... only problem I can see potentially coming up is the thickness of the coating interfering with the fit of the parts...
I recall an old American Chopper episode where they got parts back from coating and had to redrill and paint the bolt holes because the powder coat was a few 1000ths too thick.

btw can you post a pic of the blue one as well?

:o
Spray paint has gotten really good over the years, but i agree powder coating is WAY better.
That would not be good. If its just the frame though, it shouldn't affect the springs too much? But i also think that would cost a lot. Were doing this on a pretty small budget, with already slim profit margins so that may be an idea for the future too.
