Updated hood WIP

Post by Jeremy »

While I was getting plans together to build Dave Darland's 2013 car, I decided I wanted a hood and nose that matched the car better than the kit pieces. I modified the kit pieces and realized I had other cars to build that had the same hood and nose. So, I figured I would have these parts cast in resin. I know that The Parts Box offers a similar hood, but not the nose piece. Is there any interest out there for these parts? I'm looking at options on getting them cast, and don't want to spend a lot of money if there's not much demand for them.

Thanks guys!

Lou-I'm talking with a resin caster right now to see how much he'll charge to get them done. However, he's already told me he's backed up to May on orders, so I'll check elsewhere also.

Not to take away from the resin guys, but I'm working on a master for that hood and nose combo (and MANY others) as we speak. Cant make any pulls now, but I should have a much better idea on when I can sell em after I return from overseas.
