There are just as many people out there have trouble with our competitors kits or bodies than there is of ours, the problem is we spend alot more in advertising and sell more kits in a month then they sell in a year so the numbers are higher, the percentages are the same , Ive seen the numbers

I think you have been treated fairly ... considering your actions. You have repeatedly violated the rules for posting links and spam for the StreetBeast company.

Most everything said here by the moderators has been backed up with posts on the web ( like For Sale ads or other articles ). Most of the moderators here are experienced car folks and car builders. Two or three have fiberglass street rods already built or under construction ( but no StreetBeasts ) . I have been building cars since the 60's ... and own a few street rods.

The Moderators here are not NEWBIES to the car scene ... therefore we are not as likely to be easily influenced by slick, glossy photos and glowing reports of the kits being sold today ... by you or any other companies.

If you read JGK95's original post ... I was the one who suggested everyone lay off bashing JGK95 and your product ... and let JGK95 report his experiences with your kit. He and his Dad are new to building Street Rods ... so it would be a reasonably fair test of the " New " StreetBeast product.

The fact is that " StreetBeast " has a bad reputation from the years past actions and performance. Once lied to and cheated ... the trust is gone and it takes a very long time to regain a good reputation. Sort of like the current thing with Senator John Edwards ... he lied and cheated ... and now his word is crap. His political future is in the crapper. The StreetBeast reputation is in the crapper ... In my area they are called " Rodney " ... for Rodney Dangerfield because they get no respect ...

I have taken Street Rodder, Rod Action, Street Rod Builder, Rod and Custom and most of the Street Rod magazine for years ... If StreetBeasts are so nice ... I have NEVER seen a StreetBeast as a feature car ... why is that ???

Looks to me like they hold their value

The first one is at 19 grand ... that's holding value ?
For a kit that cost almost that much and then added a engine, transmission, paint and all the rest ???




The second one is listed for that 38 grand price ... but it has not SOLD ... He can list it for 50 grand ... just as easy as the price listed. It is a user car dealer trying to sell it. You know he bought it for a LOT LESS ... I bet at the price he has it listed ... the BUILDER of the beast swapped it for something he liked BETTER and lost 15 grand on the build/swap .

Whats the percentage of novice car enthusiest that partake in a steel body restoration that never finish the project and wind up selling it for a fraction of what they put into it , any of you keeping track of that

We have sales and promotions all the time, its possible he got the kit for $12k , he could of bought the kit in 95-96 for $8900 and is doubling his money , who knows

I know Street Rodder started one several years ago but don't recall if they ever showed it completed. But, being a magazine, far be it for them to ever say anything negative about an advertisers product. Case in point, pick up Motor Trend - any issue.......they never drove a car they didn't have a sensual event over. Especially if the product was advertised....then it got worse.

I am sorry, but "asking" price, come on. We have seen people asking all kinds of goofy prices for stuff. You need to click on "Completed auctions" on the ebay "advanced search" to find out what they REALLY sell for.

The completed auctions don't look quite as impressive.

Here's a link to an eBay Motors search for Street Beasts:

Ouch!

18K to ~28K depending on level of completion. That wouldn't even pay for my TCI chassis, crate SB Ford engine and Brookville body
