Update 26-10-20

- all the leds have arrived which is awesome
- currently we have real crap weather here for last 3 days with another 3 days to come so will delay painting by a week for the moment
- 1st coat of undercoat is done on the next run of 10

chat soon

I don't like to say "never" but I have parked alot of other projects to keep doing these and it is time for me to get on to those and just out of time to still spend with family and full time job. And I have said that I won't be doing any more so I must stick to that.

That said I would consider if anyone was serious about doing being respectful and producing these under "license or other" that I would be open to the discussion but it can't be a dodgy home printed top - dead against that to maintain quality and value for all the previous buyers / supporters. While I have a home printer and it's great for proof of concept, they don't produce excellent quality prints that will remain stable for many many years to come.

update 11-11-20

mods (27-36) are curing and will have decals and lighting installed this weekend. I have sent a heads up email to those people just now so expect a final tally sheet sent this weekend. Once paid they will be ready to post out early next week.

mods (37-46) have started - holes tapped, and undercoating started, all lighting has arrived and signage assembled. I have sent a heads up email to those people just now to watch for a pm with more info early next week. Aiming to have these ready to send out end of November to hopefully arrive by Xmas / New Years ????.

mods (47-56) + very last no:57 is for me for keeps sake - aim to have finished by Christmas - will send a email so you know that you are not forgotten.

at this stage looks like 4 will be leftover but 15 people have messaged me so with be made available in a first in best dressed grab - aiming to make available for between boxing day and new years day

Payment requests sent out via Pinside PM to 8 x Pinsiders

cheers guys - trying to get them finished by Christmas plus it helps that I work lets me work at home during covid so after knocking off work I am in the shed almost every day plus in the garden before the peak of summer (over 40deg c = 105 fahr)

Plus I have to build a fence - the last one lasted 20 years and eaten out by borers - yesterday took 3hrs to jack hammer 3 holes 600mm / 2 foot deep in solid rock. and also making way for a pergola so my son is chopping down palms - but more will go back in.

definitely have to agree, Jimmy you are pumping those out and they are killer

good luck with the sale Dan and I am cool with you and others posting in this thread as there will not be enough mods for the interest expressed. For anyone interested, you can add the "Snackbar" signage on top to make it very similar to the more recent versions.

head to the link and check out the 6th manual down which shows how to add the signage

Hi Dan

Yes you are on the list and yours is one of 10 that I am currently painting.

if you are casting any votes for the Twipy's don't forget to vote for the

Swinks - CFTBL Snackbar Mod v5

only if you like the mod for the Twipy's before the selection closes 10th Dec

Update 8-12-20

sorry for the delay in sending messages out to the next batch guys - sending out in the next 1hr.

of the most recent batch No:37-46 - 5 have been sent and no answers / payment for the other 5 as yet - please let me know no later than end of this weekend otherwise offered to the next people.

hopefully it will make good time and you get it next week, feel free to post here in this thread your available one as well

Update 15-12-20

- last of the batch of No: 37 - 46 have all been posted out

- 2 coasts of undercoat to the top and bottom have been applied to the last ever batch No:47-57 and just need to sand and then on to blue but the keep has gone crazy - humid and very wet - so this will delay me a little.

We haven't had as much rain as expected and nothing near that of the Byron to Gold Coast area. We have just had rain in the arvo's when I have time and access to paint. Byron is really copping the coastal erosion similar to what we had a few months ago but Byron is a high tourist area - such a shame.

Update 22-12-20
Check your tracking

For those that I just sent out their mods in the last 7-10 days please check your tracking as have been notified that one attempted delivery was made and now if no one gets back to the postal office it will be sent back to me - maybe they are not waiting as long as they should due to covid and overwhelmed with packages.

Please check and follow up your package - I messaged one pinsider this morning (Aus Time)

Also if it gets sent back to me I am charged US post back to me so if you still want it after it comes back to me you will have to pay your postage again and the return postage to me.

Update 22-12-20
Last batch being painted

The weather has not been kind with a lot of rain and real high humidity so slowed painting down as had a cloudy coat of paint the other day.

Looking like painting will be finished shortly after Xmas and final assembly around New Years Eve - in which I will also release the last 4 units for a first in gets a remaining snackbar mod - limit of 1 per person.

cheers

Jady

Update 29-12-20
Last Batch

- The tops are curing and everything is pre-assembled ready for decals & final assembly in a few days time
- The very last 4 units will be available up for grabs - details to be listed when they are ready around New Years Eve / Day (Aussie Time) - you will have to keep checking if you want one.

cheers

Final Snackbar v5 Mods

Well, I have finally finished off the last 10 x Snackbars with the 11th not quite finished but this mine for my display.

6 of these Snackbars are going to wait list guys but only 5 have responded so 1 will be reserved for this person 12hours only to then be offered up for grabs
4 of these Snackbars are available NOW (though doubt for long)

To try and score one of the 4 units, there are a few conditions:
1. Limit of one unit per person.
2. Send a PM via Pinside PM and the title must say “Last Snackbar v5”
3. Must pay by the end of the weekend as I want to pack and send asap.
4. Once the first 4 people send their PM with the correct PM titled message I will screenshot those 4 messages to save any dramas and share if necessary.
5. I will then announce that the 4 units have been sold to those Pinside members - pending payment.
6. I will then send payment details and postage options to those for people in the next 12hours as I am heading into NYE.

Mod Cost - $350 AUD
Optional Whirlpool Decal - $3 AUD
Postage - 4 options and varies greatly on country and option
IMG_5051 (resized).JPGwhirlpool bowl decal (resized).jpg

update all 4 units up for grabs have been taken within 2minutes and a 5th person is on the reserve as one of the wait list guys has not responded so this is a last minute possibility.

Successful people are:
1. crsedgar
2. qbass187
3. majicman110
4. The_Crow

and Jwfrdht I will update you soon

have sent out postage options and request for details for posting so let me know in the next 12hours to keep your position.

all the best everyone and Happy New Year

Jwfrdht was successful - all mods spoken for now

Also anyone upgrading feel free to post here and other places that your mod is available if you want to sell an older version while people are looking.
