Hold on to your money BJ, don't send anything except the $100.00 and make that a postal MO. If the offer is refused you may have saved yourself a big head ache. I wouldn't send anyone $2,000.00 out front no matter how much i wanted an item, unless they were a reputable company, and even then i would be suspect, because most do not ask for that kind of deposit.
Just my .02
Zip.
PS, A.R.T. built my chasssis without a deposit and as it was being built i paid them in 2 seperate postal MO's., same on the rear housing.
