Here are the cars I'd like to see:

X-tractions:
Jeep CJ. Big time. And preferably with some same-size-all-around big, knobby tires, about the size of the tyco Quad/turbo hopper rears would be good. Finally, a chance to get the MASH version that doesnt really exist as well as some new paint schemes. Wouldnt mind an all-new mold of the TJ or new TK Wrangler. Wouldnt be hard to incorporate a removeable soft top either.

Datsun 510. No brainer.

Corvette A/P coupe. Another winner for sure.

'08 Challenger. Duh. Who WOULDNT want this?

Come to think of it, '05 Mustang and '08 Camaro would be instant hits too.


T-jets.

Dune buggy. Love these things!

AMX. Never gets the respect it deserves.

El Camino. Why should nu-rora have all the fun?

Grungerock, if you check the webcam thread, you'll see mockups of the New Challenger and Camaro......And there are plan to make a race set with a Shelby Mustang and a current Mustang.

As far as a wish list, I got too many to list. But many have mockups made already......like the Afx trucks.

NIIIIICE!!! I love that new challenger, and intend to resin cast one soon. But an 'official' version would be hot too.

I forgot to add another to my wish list:

Mad Max Interceptor for XT chassis! Clean and beat-up versions of course, and an XT version of Humungus' 6 wheeled beast would rock also.

My wish list for the Tjet line is to round out the GM A-body musclecar stable from the '60s and '70s. There are plenty of Chevelles and GTOs of various years from a few different manufacturers, but no Buicks and only one Olds that I'm aware of (MEV).

We need a Buick Skylark/GS and an Oldsmobile Cutlass/442 (though I think Dash Motorsports will have the Olds covered soon...)

put me down for 2 dozen G-plus chassis.

"Tired of muscle cars"? Never happen here.
I know a bar where a line like that could lead to trouble for a stranger.

hehehehehe


the list:
AP Vette
The "Snake's" Funny car
late 60's GTO

looking forward to the GT40 and the Tyco funny car he's got posted on his webcam.

Audi R8. The best and most dominant sports car of the last decade.

I did not put the R8C/R8/Speed8/R10 ''family'' down because I know how long the wheelbase is, getting on for 1.95''. Having said that I did put the new Porsche down which must be nearly as long.
I'm working on a long, three-gear inline chassis that can take such bodies, but then we (as in the slot car community) have to get the bodies made so I don't think anyone should hold their breath. I get the feeling AW are not really into racers, especially modern ones....

Definitely add my vote for all the ALMS cars in X-Traction form and this could be an opportunity to introduce a new set of wheels for that series. I really think that Tom would liven up the entire product line by including different wheels (not just different colored wheels) now and then.

Ive been making resin cast slots for a little while now. One of them is a standard Charger, as well as a 300C. I do have one 300 but Im out of chargers. I recently moved, so Im all out of resin also. Here's a link to all the resin casts Ive done and you can view the Charger there. If you like it, Ill make some up for you as soon as I get some supplies. The one I have built up is on a T-jet chassis with a divorce mount front axle. But an X-Traction could possibly be mounted as well, just depends on how good your modeling skills are. Check these out:

How about some race cars. Like ones that race on a track. Like Nascar, ALMS, GT, etc. and so on. Don't care as long as they have actually run on a track. Oh and well done Ferraris would be good too........ I'm sure those are impossible to license ($$$).

Old AFX repops are getting old already. I'm sure they are the cheapest (free) to license..... But I'd really like to see some cool fast cars that did not exist before 1990..........

Hey Wes. That was me, glad you're enjoying them, I think you bought more than just those. I moved up to Portland, OR a couple months back and just got my own place a few weeks ago so Im still settling in. Thing is, I used to buy all my resin from Hobby Lobby since they carried alumilite in store. Gotta find another supplier, or just start ordering online, but I do plan to start casting again. I got a box packed full of stripped die casts that Im trying to get around to.

grungerockjeepe
01-10-2007, 03:02 AM
Thanks for the compliments, guys. Roadrunner, I got your email but the Elky is another that I dont have any left. I just have a handful that I didnt have time to sell off before I blew out of Memphis back in August. Here's a listing:

'05 Impala cop car X2
'05 Eclipse X2
Grand Cherokee X1
'05 Mustang x1
VW W12 x 1
'57 Chevy x 1
300 C x1
'63 Impala x1--But the hood and trunk cast pretty thin. Would be good for display only, or could be reinforced for running
Ive got 1 more XJ Cherokee, but the mold for that one is finished. I want to build it myself but for the right price I might part with it. SUVs are a hard sell so I doubt Ill re-cast it unless I have a lot of demand.

And for those unfamiliar with my work, I only use quality resins such as Alumilite or Smooth-On, no cheap crap! Also, my molds are 2-piece jobs, no slosh casting here.

Thanks, bumpercar. I use tyco chassis on most of my stuff since the wheelbases just seem to work out better. You could screwpost in a T-jet and use a divorce mount front axle. Truth is, most die cast stuff just isnt sized right for T-jets, at least the stuff that Id want to do. I usually ebay, but Ill sell direct also. Let me know what you're interested in and we'll work it from there. The list of what I have in stock is a few posts back.

I agree, get modern sport cars please. These ones will become the oldies in 30 years that our sons will chase and ebuy as well as their repros in 12 different colors. That should keep AW alive until at least 2037. Isn't that what all companies are looking for : guarantee sales over such a long period of time ??

As for the list : LeMans/ALMS cars. Any real sport cars. A generic NASCAR COT (one body fits all - with a different painting of the windows, light and grills you make all the 4 cars). Only muscle and sport cars give the fun of racing a car, not just run it.

What made vintage Afx and Tyco cars cool were the unusual bodies made, like the Avanti. Here's a few:

Ford Maverick
AMC Gremlin
Subaru Brat, or Dodge Rampage

I didn't mention a Pinto because Tom already made a mockup of one.

grungerockjeepe
01-12-2007, 04:51 PM
Dodge rampage, huh? That might be cool, and Hotwheels made one. Might just have to try that one in the future since I like mopars as well as wierd stuff. Look at my gallery, I have a mold for a Gremlin dirt track car.

AMC's! AMX or Javelin(70), Gremlin(70-72), Pacer, SC/rambler, Hurst AMX, SC360 Hornet, Rebel Machine, AMX/3

Hurst set

Trans-Am set from 69-70

Nascar set from early 70's

I think people would buy these sets by the case. The AMC's probably wouldn't sell that well, but I'd buy em.

You'd be surprised. The Gremlin I cast sells REAL well every time. Im gonna have to think about doing a 1st-gen Javelin and a Hornet myself since I have a bit of an AMC soft spot myself. Also, I know where to get die cast donor cars...

Glad to see they're looking at some newer stuff. I think it's great people want to relive their younger days with the vintage body styles and all, but there's already enough of that around not to mention several companies still producing it. It's time for a change and the new Vette is nice start. Now, if they would just produce other cars of similar body type (same class) that can be raced on a somewhat equal basis right out of the box (geared around club racing) that would be most excellent. If that isn't possible, then perhaps they could offer a larger variety of paint schemes for the same body, enough to fill a 6 or 12 pack so a person doesn't have to paint them. That would probably be easier and I'm sure less expensive than producing 6/12 different body styles with different paint schemes.

Oh well. It's probably wishful thinking. At least the new Vette mockup is a good start.
