ian ashton Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I ordered the hood from Time Machine Resin, but when I emailed to inquire about the status I got the following message: "Your order has been received. Website orders usually take at least four weeks. Right now we are running behind on shipping website orders so it may take a little longer. Thanks for your order. Jeff Watlington Time Machine Resin." I find that to be a bit silly, since casting takes less time than responding to my email, lol. I'm not going to cancel my order, I'd just like something a little faster than maybe a month. If not I guess I'll try to make my own in the mean time.

Guest Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Ian, I can include the dual scoop hood if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian ashton Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Ian, I can include the dual scoop hood if you want. Nah, thats OK. I'm working on a hood right now from a Shaker, if it doesn't work out I'll just wait for the Time Machine hood and hope the paint matches being sprayed at a later time, if I can't find something faster.

ian ashton Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 TMR just emailed back and said they'd try to get it out sooner, that would be cool. I think my fab skills suck, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, that is about all the time it takes to pour resin into a mold. But there is much more to resin casting than that. Jeff is a stand up guy who like nearly every other resin caster has a "real" job, family, etc, to share time with. Even Modelhaus states four to six weeks on their website. Patience, grasshopper.

I cast alot of resin parts, I know the process, I guess that's why i want t faster, lol, maybe I'm just impatient. Ok yea, I am impatient This wasn't meant to be a bash on him, just explained why I was looking for another source, because the obvious option wasn't immediately available.

Not sure if you plan on coming to the Motor City nnl but Time Machine will be at the show and should be able to bring you the hood to the show.. His tables will be right next to mine..
