Here are some of the projects I'm working on...

The first car is a Cobra for the T-Jet, the other 4 are AFX cars; a Tyco S Cheetah adapted to the AFX, something that looks like a Mach 5, a 71 Camaro which will have interchangable hoods (2 different L-88 hoods, a prostock hood and a Stinger hood) and a McLaren F1.

I hope the F1 is for the XT chassis, as it will be popular here in the UK once transferred to the Tomy chassis.

The other question is when will it be on sale?

All the cars pictured except for the Cobra are AFX/X-Traction cars. Time frame is 3 to 6 months. Some of the projects are further along than others. The McLaren will be a street version. There will be an unpainted kit available to allow people to decorate as they like...

Same here...A Cobra that will have the good proportions of a real Cobra will be a killer car

Dan you will have to do the other TYCO S cars the Jag 2D and the Ferrari to go along with the Cheetah :)

Agreed....I have these converted now for personal use, but these would be great if Lenny did them!

Go Lenny go!

You guys mean to do these for AFX, not T-Jet, right?

Johnny, I sent you a few emails in the past few days. Let me know if you got them.

Looking good! Keep those AFX sized bodies coming!

hey, any plans for the Tyco S '65 Thunderbird? I think it'd be a good candidate for a Tjet body, it goes well with the Rivieras and Toronados and Galaxies and other year Tbirds...

Yes, for AFX and in "real" paint schemes even if only the base color.

EM received and answered.

If one tyco "s" car is reproduced it should be that black 1934 (?) pickup truck. I had one a long time ago, but no more, and their hard to find. would look sweet in red or navy blue.
If theres anyway I could help in getting that done with you Dan, drop me an email and we'll talk.

Anyone else think it's bogus that Dan has not posted close-up shots of these cars yet? ;)

Well, I guess I could set up a web cam and give you really grainy crappy shots of them. Would that make you happy?:rolleyes:

I post closeups of finished production cars that are ready for sale. These are projects I'm working on. Call them teasers if you like. Would a close up shot help you out in some way, or validate these projects for you, since you think these are bogus?

How about a LITTLE RED WAGON body with a nice chrome engine and side pipes

I;ve been costumizing a few resins and a few die casts of this body, but an AFX body would be awesome! Any of Tom Daniels body designs would also be a great choice.

Sure. It works for others.

Would a close up shot help you out in some way . . . ?

Yes -- I could see the cars better.

Would a close up shot . . . validate these projects for you, since you think these are bogus?

The only thing that is bogus is your inability to handle a little ribbing.
