Too bad you missed out on Big Swede's kilby he had for sale (never used).

VT-Maverick currently has one un-mounted, but I think he's saving it for re-installation on his next VX.
I was the catalyst brain child (it was my original idea) for the belly-pan Kilby's, and I personally solitated/coordinated directly with Brad Kilby (long distance via E-Mail on a daily basis) for many months to get them designed/built, and coordinated the donor VX to be used as the original template. There were countless times that Brad Kilby was ready to throw-in-the-towel and quit the orginal design project due to design/fitment frustration and cost over-runs, but I continually prodded Brad Kilby to keep going to complete the mission. It was a massive undertaking project for both myself and Kilby Enterprises.
I further coordinated the original "group buy" which also proved to be a challenge in itself in getting the required number of people here on VX.Info to commit to purchase. Purchased as a single buyer, the Kilby's are very expensive near the $800 price mark (but worth every penny).
Eventhough Kilby Enterprises has changed owner's, I knew the original CAD software drawings would be retained by the new follow-on owner for any possible future sales to VX'ers. Too much time and money went into R&D to simply destroy the original CAD data/drawings. I'm glad to see the new owner's enthusiasm to still try and market the Kilby's for us VX'ers!!!
