MCM Friend (4/6)

  1. Yes, just molded this past December along with the chopped Fordor sedan body (one more time)...........masters done by our very own talented Dennis Lacy!
  2. Sadly it is true........here is Donn's obituary that was put up by his family. https://www.schellhaasfh.com/obituary/donn-yost?lud=A361017C7FAAC843D68A18933FB80B7B&fbclid=IwAR0n_3CIH4-v0Tco1D9BdeyJiIFjKphXXi98A0AL1Ufz8E9bcDKGEAiHf-A
  3. Correct me if I'm wrong here Craig, but isn't that the chopped uptop you mastered to fit the '32 rpu body? It doesn't look like the '32 deuce roadster uptop Dennis mastered to my eye.
  4. I opted not to mold that louvered hood; and Dennis used it on this build above.
  5. This is the chopped '32 uptop that I still offer that my friend Denny Lacy mastered....reshape the inner curve and you'd be very close to the chopped uptop on the 1:1 roadster you posted above.
  6. Don't forget the dome light! I am sure that you didn't though; and you likely have plans to put in a scratch built review mirror and sun visors too! The A pillars look awesome; and were always something that I thought of too...........but haven't attempted since it's been 12 years since I last finished a model!
  7. Don't let a few bad apples ruin the bunch so to speak. It sounds like you guys are not taking the time to do a little research on persons or companies you are sending your hard earned money to. Just doing a simple Google search with the company's name and "reviews" attached to it will usually net you enough feedback to make a wise decision. We do it when buying stuff on-line like from Amazon..........why not when dealing with a resin caster you're not familiar with?
  8. Very nicely done! It's great seeing one of my old '33 Willys coupe bodies actually being built.................and turned into a gasser! I still offer a version of this body with the deck lid filled in and more stock appearing rear fenders. I was hoping to offer the original version again; but have not finished reworking the original master at this point in time. I darn near started over with it; but it's been a couple of years since I've had any bench time.
  9. If you would like to send me an e-mail I can provide you with the information you seek. lowcab36@epix.net
  10. I have taken note of the slight arch in the floor pan; and see that it could have been inherent in the original (looking at the stock ones in the Revell Charger kits I have); or it could have happened when I packed the floor pan in clay and didn't notice the very slight arch. I have been trying to remedy each floor pan that goes out by heating it up over the desk lamp for a short amount of time and then straightening it out a bit. To my eye it is so minute that it's a moot point once the door panels are *properly* glued onto the floor pan to give it enough rigidity and keep it from flexing; and the chassis is installed to support it from underneath. The package tray should have enough clearance for the glass to fit between it and the body; with any gap left over easily being closed with a little tension applied as it is glued in place upon final assembly.
  11. I just stumbled upon your thread and really like what I'm seeing........even before I saw the body painted! That chassis is a work of art by itself! It's nice seeing stuff I produce actually being built! It seems like most of it just ends up in someone's closet or it's built but never shared on-line or taken to a model show.
  12. I'll drop him a line through FB and let him know he's got messages to check over here.
  13. Nope, no notification e-mail came through...............I just happened to stumble upon this thread by chance! LOL! I believe I answered Snake last week concerning the '56 Chevy teardrop hood..............and that I haven't offered it in nearly a decade now.
  14. I haven't offered that particular hood in over a decade I am sorry to say. You can check my Fotki albums to see the hoods that I do still offer. If you need the l ink just send me a PM.
  15. I am still playing catch-up with the initial group of orders that came in back in May if I recall correctly...........something like 24+ orders (some for 2 and 3 interiors each) followed by what trickled in since then (another dozen I think?). On top of that, the weather really put a hurting on my ability to cast as much this summer with it being so hot, humid, or raining constantly. Then from July through August we struggled to keep our 12 year old pup alive (which kept me out of the shop almost an entire month straight due to how severe things were and the attention she needed).............all the while losing her in the end; which really crippled my wife and I. We were not prepared for this. I have been making great strides with the Coronet interior orders as of the past couple of weeks (and all of the other orders I was also backed up on due to high volume demand in a short period of time). Most guys don't realize that there could be 20-30 other guys ordering the exact same thing within days of each other (jamming up the pipe line so to speak!); and despite a heads up from me they still have their minds made up that they should received their order in a certain amount of time based on their preconceived expectations or the performance of other resin casters (most of which do not have the same work load as I do..........or the same set of circumstances even). At any rate, I greatly appreciate the patience most everyone has shown me so far; and hope that everyone is satisfied once they receive their orders.
