gtx6970 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If I buy one at all, it will be to build this, so the firewall is neither here nor there. too funny. That car was my exact thought when read about the wiper motor complaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I can't make out any details on the side of that car. Anyone know the name or other details so I could find out about it online?Thanks,Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Its the Jack Chrisman - aka Sachs and Son car. The car was pretty radically altered back in its day Edited April 27, 2016 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I welcome the "Rivet Counting", as long as the "counters" know what they are writing about. Most of the time, it makes for a better model kit, and it gives me less work to do. After I finish a couple of projects, I want to get into the Mobieus 1961 Ventura. I have a plan for my build, and after seeing some of the completed builds here on the board, I have an Idea of where I am going on this one.

Reeves Racing Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I just checked my back order status on the three kits I pre-ordered. It now has moved out for a fourth time. Now it went from June to September.Any updates as to why it keeps getting pushed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtrcitymuscle Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 As a Cyclone owner, I am looking forward to this hitting the shelves. It looked great on the Mobius display at this past NNL Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Metzner Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 A little bad news, got 3rd test shots last week, most fixes were made - not all.Now I'm waiting to find out how quickly I can have corrections that still need to be made in my hands! Needless to say the guys at the factory have been informed of my displeasure in no uncertain terms..Still hoping to have production kits before too much longer!

'70 Grande Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Agreed on getting it correct; even if it means we all have to wait longer! We certainly do appreciate these updates that you provide, Dave.

Sledsel Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I appreciate the "get it right" attitude rather than the "good enough" of some other new tools Edited June 14, 2016 by Sledsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Will any of the variants of this kit feature the "Twin Nostril" hood shown on the light blue car in the previous post? I know that the test shot does not seem to show one, but I am curious for the future.TIA Edited June 14, 2016 by alexis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
