Request: Kit checkout in Houston, TX

Postby SP1 » Sat Apr 21, 2018 11:49 am

Hi All,
Would anyone in the Houston area be available to inspect a kit I'm contemplating purchasing? It was listed on Barnstormers (ad is below). I've spoken with the builder, like what I hear, but want an experienced eye to take a look before I pull the trigger. Thanks and greatly appreciate it.

I've been able to get some photos of the build. I'd appreciate it if someone with an experienced eye to evaluate its state. Thanks very much for any input you have.
