Dec 17th will be the 4 month mark since I paid my deposit, but I'm just being as patient as need be, I just want a great helmet in the end!

I complained and told him I xpect them by next friday. The problem here is that he has little investment in the project and what can I do... go and beat him up or sue him? He knows I wont so the best I can do is keep calling him on a regular basis as I am. As some know I am a high school teacher and I go on break starting next Thursday for two weeks. My intent is to get the metal and finish them ALL off by the start of the new year. I relaly want to make it clear that it is the foundry that is dragging thier *** which is why I gave a rediculously long turn-around time. I never thought it would actually take that long.
Fellow Fetts!!! Good news. Helmets ARE BEING CAST TODAY!!! I will have them ALL in hand by Monday! Of course I will post pictures but I wanted to let everybody know that this is indeed going as planned.
If you notice the custom helmet has a shiny spot which is what a welded crack and finishing looks like. .
Another mistake they made was they cast several of the ear caps in bronze. I actually like it because it reflects the ESB gold caps! But most of the helmets will have an aluminum cap unless you request the bronze.
*** MY HELMET HAS A CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does this mean i get a discount because it's a factory second?
Seriously, will the rest of the helmet be that shiny when you are finished with them? or will you leave the polishing up to us? Fantastic news on the pics anyway HS< loving it so far!
Really - the cracks are not a bad thing - they just need more attention which in the long run means I will be more picky about details I may not have been with before.
VP - your earcap is already part of the helmet so no worries there. BTY aluminum is not very magnetic.
The helmets will be finished to a brushed wire wheel state - not high polished but shiny. The goal is to supply you guys with a cleaned up surface that can be painted or reworked to your choosing. Some additional clean up may be necessary but I realize you all don't have equipment so I will get it to a nice as a state as I am able to.
