v4 Leather Ammo Belt run

**99centTaco** · 09-17-2008, 07:11 AM

ok, well with compelition of the harnesses being done it is time for me to do my final run of ammo belts for the year. These are the new belts with the new upgrades. What I plan to do in this run is make all of my pieces and make as many pouches as i can. And make as many belts a I can leaving them full length until the end when I have confirmed, paid people. The cost per belt is $150 to the US. If you live in outside the US I will have to see what UPS is gonna charge to go out to you. I will make many belts to cover the run and some incase there are late comers, but if they do not go here after awhile then I will be putting the remaining belts on ebay. Thanks guys. PM me for questions.

Upgrades, lighter thin wieght leather, (allows for the folded edges and lightens the wieght) Same goes for the belt now as well. The belt is now has folded edges,

ESB Belts - Come in a darker brown

ROTJ - Come with a slighty ligther brown

I will try to get pics up soon.

Hey Taco, Unfortunately, I have to bail on this run. I just found a belt more in my price range. I do dig your product though and I just paypaled you for a EE-3 sling...

Feel better, thanks!

**GCNgamer128** · 10-06-2008, 11:20 AM

Taco, you do fantastic work. I love the folded edges, I just hope you don't come out with v5 right after I order a v4 from you soon!

**99centTaco** · 10-06-2008, 03:52 PM

Nah, I think this is it. I even have the belt with folded edges.

**RangerChet** · 10-06-2008, 06:10 PM

Thanks for updating the progress. Glad to hear your doing better from your hospital stint!

**99centTaco** · 10-06-2008, 06:22 PM

Yes I'm doing ok for now, but I think surgery is going to have to happen soon whether I like it or not.

**jpynk3** · 10-06-2008, 08:57 PM

Hey Taco.........How do you do? I wait that well, I don't really know that it happens to paypal but I still have problems with them, for that reason I am opening another bill but while I wait, I was speaking with a friend and I will send the payment from their bill so that you send me these to my address in Argentina, tell me if you are of agreement, and next Wednesday I ship him the payment. I wait their answer!!!!

Hey Taco...did they ship yet? My status only says 75% still. Just getting nervous, only 15 days til it's on.

**99centTaco** · 10-15-2008, 08:18 AM

Try not to worry your belt is scheduled to be finished today. It should have been done this past weekend but I needed to get that surgery done. I haven't been feeling all too good lately but I'm still getting things done. Since today is my birthday I don't think to many people will be bugging me at home to do other things, I will be able to work on more belts today.

**jedi.paramedic** · 10-15-2008, 08:32 AM

Well then "Happy Birthday Taco.

How long will you be doing this run? I bought your last belt V.3 and it is a wee bit small (my own fault for that), so I'm thinking of upgrading to this one for the ESB costume.

**jpynk3** · 10-15-2008, 10:24 AM

Hey...Happy Birthday!!! I hope the surgery went well and you're feeling better. I'm just nervous because I have several things ordered from different people and I'm not sure if it's all gonna be here in time. I can't get answers from the others and I'm stressin.

**Boba Leo** · 10-16-2008, 07:05 AM

Hey...., Happy Birthday friend Taco, I wait that you can enjoyments with all the people that loves you, here from Argentina you have one, greetings!!!

Happy Birthday Taco!!

**99centTaco** · 10-16-2008, 06:40 PM

Tomorrow i will be dropping off all remaining belts from the first run at the post office. All packages are going out USPS via priority mail. Depending where you live you should see belts by Saturday or Monday.

**RangerChet** · 10-16-2008, 08:06 PM

Could you please post pics of the belt ??? I'd love to see more pics if possible before decide

.

Thanks.

**jpynk3** · 10-20-2008, 01:41 PM

Hey Taco...I got the belt today, it looks GREAT except it's not long enough. My waist is a 35 which is what you made it to fit, but even when I wear it over even just a t shirt the overlap in the back is only an inch. It's definately going to fall off. The belt should have been at least 4 to 5 inches longer. If I put my flight suit, girth belt and cod piece on it's not going to fit at all. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches longer. The overall length of the belt now is 38 1/2", it should have been about 42" or 43". What do you propose? The pouches are great, I just need a longer belt. PM sent as well.

Taco, the belt made it to my house. I'll give you feedback when I get back from Arizona on the 1st and open it up.

**Boba Leo** · 10-23-2008, 07:06 PM

**Bossywalker** · 10-27-2008, 01:08 AM

Just recieved my ammo belt!!! Thanks heaps Taco. I will always remember this belt as the first piece of my Fett that I received.

**Seven** · 10-27-2008, 08:37 AM

Taco,
would you be interested doing a custom/modified ammo belt?

**jpynk3** · 10-27-2008, 10:23 PM

Hey Taco...any word on that replacement belt? 4 days til showtime. I pm'd ya as well. Holla!

**99centTaco** · 10-31-2008, 09:32 AM

Update*- Back to work 100% - Sorry about the delay guys, my little workshop was under construction..sorta. Since I have moved back into my parents house for a short while, my shop is in my room. And my family just had all the windows and siding redone. Our house is over 100 years old but in great condition. But the windows had to go. It should have only taken 1 day but the window frames in my room were really bad and had to be redone. So for 3 days my room was a demolished. But my new windows are now in and my shop has been moved back in order. Should have everything done in the next few days.

**Blade76** · 11-03-2008, 12:50 PM

Any runs in the near future?

**RangerChet** · 11-03-2008, 12:51 PM

These belts rock! Very clean lines, the leather and stitching is exceptional, and the construction is incredible! Great job Taco! Your products are absolutely worth any delay and your efforts pay off in detail and quality.

**DarthFett_79** · 11-07-2008, 04:14 PM

Can't wait to get mine!

**jpynk3** · 11-12-2008, 10:16 PM

Well, after waiting patiently for the replacement belt, since the first one was too short, and it didn't arrive before Halloween. You said it wouldn't be a problem because you said you had enough leather to make another one. Then you said you had to wait for more leather from Tandy. I was still just giving you the benefit of the doubt and trying to be extra friendly. I do know you're well liked on here, and I do realize you have had some health issues. Eventhough I had to "rig" my belt in the back to make it fit, I had a great time on Halloween. *Getting to the point* I received the new belt today, and to my chagrin, it was the ESB dark leather color, not ROTJ which is what I ordered in the first place. It also had crooked stitch lines and only two grommets instead of your normal 4 holes like the first belt. I'm not asking for another belt, I just want you to know and the board what happened and that I feel let down. Hopefully you get a little bit more organized for future orders. I only wanted what I paid for, nothing more. Thanks for trying.

**99centTaco** · 11-13-2008, 08:15 AM

Jpnk3 wasn't your belt in the shipping bag??? I don't have a ROTJ belt that was return. No belt has 4 grommets theres only 2 and 6. I just checked and the belts I got back were ESBs. Also, there isn't any pms in my box recently from you. So .....??? I have no problem getting you another belt if that is what you want. Right now I'm scratchin my head because of the fact that I have no returned ROTJ belts, they are all hanging on my wall. They are all ESB's. Are you sure the first one I sent wasn't an ESB belt?? If you want to live with the belt that is your choice but just so you know you could have just sent me another pm and let me know what happened and asked if I could have fixed it. I didn't charge you a second time...why would I charge you a third?

**DarthFett_79** · 11-15-2008, 02:39 PM

Got mine today!! Thanks much!!

**FettDad** · 11-15-2008, 02:57 PM
