Sorry, but that is too soon, we will not see this until the Bill Thomas Cheetah comes out.

Thanks for the info and I will keep an eye out for one! And yes, keep building!!

Here are the kit bodies, this is from a pic I took when they re released the U.N.C.L.E car.

A little digging found this

I refuse to believe that! LOL!

We approve!

Nice! I like the Kenmeri body style! A friend of mine has one and I someday would like to make a model of it! Who's kit did you use? Here is the Kenmeri at the Long Beach Japanese Classic Car Show

It is just a very simple kit and not very accurate to the actual movie car. Perfect for kids! .

Well, to be more precise, it was for the sequel "More American Graffiti" It was only the '32 and the Rail Job. The '32 is based off the Switchers kit and the Rail originated from the Ramchargers Front Engine Dragster

OK, Stock looks like this, but in racing trim Spy Version And Drag

They used a '69 Charger disguised as a '70 in the movie, but, I guess they didn't totally hide its roots.

Heck! Even Auto World has it for only $26!

I just don't see how they are coming up with that. I wonder if HL has a price match type of guarantee?

My LHS has the Lawman for only $28, while the local Hobby Lobby, and the only one around here, has them for the mentioned $39

Thanks! And I just picked up the Fast and Furious Charger as well! I picked up after I took the pic, so maybe it will make the next batch.

Nice! Very well executed fakery!

So you are going from this.... To this......

Oh, that is a good website! Thanks for posting the link!

Getting backed up on posting my latest for the pile

Well, there is always the H.A.M.B. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/gas-and-fuel-altereds-rules-and-pics.971509/

It may have finally gone away. Was barely operating the last time I took a look and that was a while ago.

Oh yes! I remember seeing this on the shelves when I was a kid on my trips to the Hobby Shop! Need to get one and build it like the injected box art version! I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Sadly, not all good old fashioned styrene kits or manufacturers make everything we would like to see or get. Hence, the aftermarket. Yes, it is mostly a custom deal and some are more specialized than others, hence waiting times and availability. Hand crafting a product vs. making one with an injection machine is a bit different and require a different set of skills. I appreciate casters who have taken the time to vest into something that they are doing for the joy of it and rather the profit of it. Making your own masters vs. sourcing them out from others can be quite time consuming,but, you will in the end get a better product. I have purchased from vendors who used other folks masters and either botched them by trying to "perfect them" or avoided giving credit to the original master maker. Mark makes his own masters and molds. And the quality is top notch, because that is what he wants for himself and he was kind enough to share it with us who shared the same interest. Yes, it took some time to get some items done, but, they got done and shipped to the end user. A lot more than I can say for some other casters and vendors, who I will not mention a the risk of starting a whole new can of worms! I consider myself luck and quite happy to have a few of Marks engines and if he decides to sell them again, I would gladly order them up.

I thought I had replied to this thread, but I guess my stuff was either deleted, not the first time, or it must have been another thread. I am glad Chris got his stuff and that Mark has spoken his peace. But, I am not glad about what some had said about all this. With no skin in the game and based on what other are saying, it is easy to disparage someone who is not fighting back. Some are comparing what Mark was doing to some other casters out there, and that, is totally wrong. Yes, there have been some horrible resin casters out there, either in quality or delivery of product, who have taken advantage of builders. Sadly, most of them never made it right with their customers and money and time was lost. Mark made it right and yet some are still jumping in and making comparisons. I believe I was one of the first to buy from Mark when he first offered to us large scale types and the stuff that showed up in my mail box was beyond compare. He offered it to a small group of us and we where happy to get it. Then he went online and that is when things changed. Like Mark said, he is not a full blown resin business and I can understand how he might have been overwhelmed with it. But, he was never out to cheat anyone out there. Mark is making it right where others just ran, and that to me is a class act. As for some of you who just threw rocks without really knowing much, you kinda dropped a notch in my book. Mark - Glad to hear you around here again, you rep is fine in my book and I am sorry I have not started that Pete car yet!
