Tomahawk

[Guest Anonymous]

I was on a webpage, linked to some kit manufacturer and didn't save where I was at. The kit I saw was the Tomahawk. Does anyone know the manufacturer of the body kit? Its a cobra looking body kit for the Z.

 

Regards,

A number of months ago, the guy (Rory Bateman) told me he was moving his shop but didn't have his address yet. Since then I've lost touch with him. Eric Neyerlin (on the IZCC list a lot) runs into the guy occasionally and Eric said he'd try to get the guy to become more visible again. Eric's response to me is at the end of this message. Eric has several photos of Tomahawks at his web site. He took one photo at the West Coast Nationals ( http://www.jps.net/zparts/showcase/wczn20/pages/00r08f04_c.htm ) and he has another at ( http://www.jps.net/zparts/showcase/tomahawk/jc280zx_prv.htm )

John,

 

I was just speaking to him yesterday at a kit car show. A total of 7

Tomahawks were at the show including Rory Bateman's personal car. The

280ZX and 300ZX finished and driveable prototypes were there as well. I

took numerous photos that will appear on my website later this month.

 

Rory is still in transition and has not found a location to set up his shop

at yet. He told me that he might have a new residence in Sacramento soon,

but I have no direct phone # or address for him at the moment. I mostly

relay messages to him through his loyal customers that keep a constant

communication with him while he is searching for a new shop opportunity.

 

Because I receive a constant stream of inquiries about his kits, I made up

a 3 page questionnaire for Rory to fill out regarding his Tomahawk kit and

it's history. If he fills it out, as he said he would, then I will either

mail it out to you or post it on my website and alert you and others that

it is there to review.

 

btw, have you ever seen a Tomahawk kit at a show or on the street or did

you first learn of them from my website display? I am trying to locate

aprox. 20 + kit owners whose location records have been lost by Rory. I

wish to find them to document their histories and to add them to a Tomahawk

registry.
