Thanks guys for the good word. The word addiction keeps popping up and is a pretty accurate description....lol. Soooo many ideas! I need to improve my fabrication and casting technique, but I have the basics down now. I'm just really pleased to be getting these kind of results this early. Thanks again.

Just completed this 660slots beauty of a body C7 Corvette Pro Mod. This is yet another project that ended up waaaay different than the vision in my head. Sometimes that happens as I'm still learning to apply paint and colors. I rolled with it though and ended up with a pretty cool looking car....planned or unplanned.  A 660slots Twin Turbo Mustang is still in the paint booth waiting to be completed, but I just moved the newly cast Chevy Luv up next.

Here is another project I'm working on. '72 Chevy Vega stock version. This casting was in pretty rough shape and extensive work has been done to bring it to this point. Scratch built bumpers were the latest addition. Lots of work still left to go. Finished stock version will have a low cowl induction hood. Once this body is cast, a Pro Mod version will follow soon after. That's where I really want to go with this car. A unique body that was definitely worth saving.

Still working on front bumpers....I need to take a little more of the topping off . They are a little thick. But there is still a bunch to do to the whole car to get it where I want it. The Pro Mod version will look something like Shane's Blackbird Vega. Thanks for the good word! |

Stock Vega is very close to making a mold. Only some minor blems and a final sanding. Cowl induction and a stock GT type spoiler have been added. I'm happy with how it is turning out, but I am really working toward the Doorslammer version . '66 Nova will be remolded when I do the Vega. The original mold split out. That silicone was part of a Starter set from Micro Mark and is not as strong as what I am currently using.

Classic Pink Panther, nice theme, looks good. I always enjoyed Peter Sellers in those movies. Think I will go watch one now.

I thought I would throw this out there. I am needing a Superjet Monte Carlo body for a build so I ordered 2 on Aug. 19. Paypal has been charged and as far as I can tell the order was received, but I have not received the bodies yet. I have tried to contact Superjet twice through their customer support email, but only got the automated response. Just want to confirm shipping status in case there was a problem with delivery or something. Does anybody know an alternate method of contact or if something is going on with the site? I will try today through one of the other listed emails. Thanks.

He said he was swamped with orders for 3 of his bodies. Hopefully you'll hear from him soon. Bill |

A 660slots Twin Turbo Mustang is still in the paint booth waiting to be completed, but I just moved the newly cast Chevy Luv up next.
Just out of the booth is a 660slots Mustang PM which is the last of the multiple projects that I started. Waiting on some bodies for a few customer customs coming up.
