I think TJR was talkin' about those bitchin' 5 window hot rod sedans you posted way back in the beginning of this never ending thread. You remember now dont you, ya whippersnapper! Better hit the ginko baloba before you end up like me and forget to.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzz

Uh oh! Looks like bracket grudge match between meat wagons is about to go down.

Ed is this some subliminal message that I'm gonna need one or the other.if I dont shape up?

Your kinda slackin' bud. I was expecting to see a bony appendage hanging out of the hearse and some sort of gory dismemberment through the ambulance window.

Hi Everyone, :wave:

Its been awhile since I posted. Here are some new and upcoming products. Descriptions of each are in the album. Our site is being updated soon. The GT40 is available now.

The Ferrari was a present for Willie, and is based on an old Gary Fast vacuformed kit. Front and rear wings are scratchbuilt and resin cast. Our production body will be based on the F2001 body that has been on our site for some time, but its finally coming.

Bill,

The GT40 has custom photo-etched inserts that were turned down from 1/43rd parts. The Ferrari is sporting the modular wheelset that we will be producing soon. Its composed of precision turned delrin hubs, an aluminum rim, and a resin inserts of you choice. I have many styles that will be available. I actually have the correct 6 spoke Gulf GT40 rims in resin, but I did not get a chance to paint them up. I get a pic up as soon as I can. These are just not for show. Since they are turned delrin they run really true - much better than stock. Since they are delrin, they can be used without a wheel press as well.

Right now I am pretty busy, so hopefully the web site will be updated soon. Wheels however, may take a bit longer, as I want to produce molds capable of making many many resin inserts at once, as I expect they will be popular.

The Lola is an RRR Fray Kit on a JL chassis. I used to race it at an alomst local hobby shop on Wednesday nights.

The GT40 is from Buds HO (I'm not sure where he gets them) on a narrow Super-G chassis with Tyco rear rims and low profile SuperTires. This car also has an independent front end that I made from the original Super G-Plus front wheels.

Mike, your GT 40 is gorgeous (Bud's body did you say, I'll try to remember), but SCI's is truly awesome....I think I've never seen an HO GT-40 so accurate. It's simply perfect !!! :thumbsup:
Do you really sell unfinished kits only of this model, or plan to sell full decorated as well ?

micyou03
04-13-2007, 01:09 PM
Thanks. I did those about 3 or so years ago. I din't run the GT40 much because its a rocket. I would lof to get a hold of a GT40 body that will go on a Magna- or X- Traction.

None are available finished directly on the site. Its too hard to keep any finished inventory, so we just build to suit. So just email us direct regarding finished models. Items that are unavailable are being remastered and will be available again as soon as I can finish the new molds.

Coach,

The Brabham that you refer to is ready if you want one so email me direct. The only reason its not on the site is because I am having special decals made for it, as the only other ones out there are from Pattos, and just don't fit the kit well.

Just an idea for you painters that put a body on the end of a stick. I took a JL Tjet and AFX style pullback chassis without wheels and mounted them to a dowel. Now when I paint, I attach the body to the diecast chassis and paint away. After every ten paint jobs or so, I'll clean the chassis. :thumbsup: rr
