FAQ for buying a Karta or Dallara body kits.

**nicad** · 09-02-2007, 08:29 PM

If you are looking to get a Karta or Dallara body kit from Deadlywind (me), Here is what you will need to know and do-

#1) You will need an AGD "sluggo" to start with. I do not stock them right now, so you will have to acquire one. As of the time of this writing, RogueFactor has some available.
#2) If you want a Karta body kit, you will also need to send in an RTPro or Emag rail. I do not have any in stock.
#3) If you want a Dallara body kit, I have AM/MM rails here, so no need to send in a rail.
#4) I can not sell a Karta rail by itself. Please do not ask to buy one by itself.

Costs:
Karta body and rail machining and buffing/polishing services run $170. You supply the Slug body and an RTPro or Emag rail.
Dallara body and rail machining and buffing/polishing services run $160. You supply the Slug body only.
I can ULE any rail for $20.
Insured shipping back to you is a flat $10.
Payment is due when your body kit is done and ready to ship back to you. I accept Paypal and CC payments.
When shipping the Slug to me, please include a note with the package with your name and contact (name, email, address, phone, etc) and what you want to have done (Karta, Dallara, ULE rail milling, etc).

I can strip ano from rails if need be, but might take a bit longer. I do not offer any anodizing service at this time. You will get "raw" polished aluminum parts.

Your turnaround time can be from 1 to 3 months. This is no longer my main thing that I do, so they get worked on as I get the free time.

*************EDIT 12/02/07***********
Effective immediately, ALL DW mag body machining services listed above will double in price. This includes machining and ULE. Shipping will stay at $10. See my post #22 below for more details.

So, can you clarify how we pay?

**mostpeople** · 11-12-2007, 09:47 PM

Soo then that would make me...158th?

Just kidding.

I tried to pm to check that you received my sluggo and rail to find that your box is full.

**reckid1986** · 11-20-2007, 04:47 PM

so i guess theres not any updates.

**one_quick_ta** · 11-20-2007, 05:16 PM

how much would it be to mill my slug into a dallara body? just raw or polished is there a difference in price or do they just come polished?

read the first post
Dallara body and rail machining and buffing/polishing services run $160. You supply the Slug body only.

**one_quick_ta** · 11-25-2007, 11:04 PM

i dont need the rail hence the question, sorry if i wasnt specific enough, and the raw question was because i was wondering what the difference in price would be if they didnt have to polish it, but it prob wouldnt be worth it to do it myself or have the anno guy do it.

so basically what i want to know is what is the price for just the body milling no rail needed, i have a dallara rail already. thanks

**nicad** · 12-01-2007, 11:34 PM

Major updates! I just got about 7 more body kits finished, and emails were sent out. If you have sent in your slug over 3 month ago, you should have an email from me.

Also, Shane Chapman please contact me, your email that I have on file for you is bouncing.

**nicad** · 12-02-2007, 01:03 AM

Effective immediately, ALL DW mag body machining services will double in price. This includes machining and ULE. Shipping will stay at $10.

Yep. sorry. I simply do not have the time to dedicate to this like I used to.
Time frame will still be around 3 months turnaround.

If you already have a slug in to me, do not worry, I will honor the prices I quoted for you.
Any new slugs sent in to be machined into a Karta or Dallara, postage dated on 12/03/07 or later, will have the new prices applied.

**Coralis** · 12-02-2007, 01:18 AM

Well da** i guess waiting for my tax return to send in my slug wasn't such a great idea after all.

You are being kind!

I am of the opinion that my slug body purchase was now a mistake!

well looks like i'll be selling my slug body!

600+ for a karta

**nicad** · 12-04-2007, 04:09 PM

I have been milling AGD slug bodies since AGD first started making them, since 2002. I have made our body machining services available for 5 years, as long as the slugs were available. It was either go up in price, or stop offering the service completely. No product has an indefinite lifespan.

It is inevitable that I will stop offering the service at some point, probably in a few more months.
So your options are--
have bought one in the last 5 years at the original cost,
buy one now at a higher cost, or
keep waiting and not be able to buy one at all.

And ofcourse, no one is forcing you to buy anything..
