Quick GMC

Welp, let us know when they are ready for ordering. They look incredible.

SWEET BABY JESUS. Exactly what I have been waiting for. I need a 427 with Webbers. for a Cobra build and there isn't anything out there like this. I'm in for several Are you doing both the vertical and slanted manifolds?

he also shows a ton of other stuff on Instagram @JPScustomsMCTwheels https://www.instagram.com/jpscustomsmctwheels/?hl=en

I Was defending Gravity USA when this whole thing started, but the shipping delays, and everything else, and now this, It's a deal breaker. This is not how you save face. More time should be spent on getting your logistics in order rather than trying to convince people you're not at fault for anything.

Looks great, definitely going to get this kit.

I follow him on Instagram and it looks like he's been tied up for some time in some crazy Mad Max kit. Also, their posts are few and far between. I have a few of their things and am anxious to to see new stuff from them as well.

Little bit more done on this finally. Did the rear axles. Used the Super Detail Kit brass fittings and spun some Aluminum rod in a Dremel to polish. Also put one of the Top Studio 1/12 motorcycle springs on the exhaust to compare. Much better than the molded in parts. Got the majority of the parts in primer and black paint now. Some carbon fiber decals are next so I can finally start assembling some stuff

Bummer. Thanks anyway.

Awesome builds. The BMW and Skyline are my favorites

Nice builds. What wheels are those on the Camero?

very nice build, it sits just right

Came across this. Thicker than aluminum foil, you could probably make a bent or damaged fender out of this stuff for a more realistic look than melted and cut plastic https://hlj.com/flexible-metal-foil-tin-pewter-gswd-19

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean it's not funny.

I noticed he all but dropped off the face of the earth, but couldn't find any information as to why. Not happy to hear about his situation, but good to know. I hope for his recovery soon.

So many angry, triggered old men. Adapt or die.

Cobras's

never really had an interest in these cars, but over the last few years they have really been growing on me. This looks great, nice work

Seems like he wants to keep it going, his heart is in it, but if it is stressing him financially, not to mention everyone and their mother asking when the next issue is coming, it might be in his best interest, health and sanity wise, to shut it down and enjoy the years he has left. Can't fault anyone for that. I can't imagine how difficult of a position it would be to have to make that decision, but you have to do what is best for you in the end.

It's clearly dead, as sad as that may be.

I bought some really nice knea from Model Car Garage a while back. I went to buy more recently and they were gone. I emailed about them and he said the Model A engine parts were not available at the moment due to retooling, but they are definitely coming back. I think he said within the next several weeks The fins on them on very delicate, I would order 2-3 sets to be sure you get 1 perfect set. Not ideal but worth it. They have acorn nut details molded in

even thought my skill level isn't up to snuff for a lot of the after market stuff out there, I buy all the "gotta have it" items, like super detail kits, limited edition detail parts, etc. Anything with high detail and i'm interested, even if the subject itself isn't super interesting to me. With that being said, I would shoot for high detail, premium quality, something nobody else makes. You may not sell a ton, but you can mark them up higher. If he has the capability to do the CNC parts, it would be much easier to crank these out. - Diff pumpkins with pre-drilled holes. Hollow/open like a real one - Ring and pinion sets for dioramas - Turned hubs with pre-drilled holes and a set of studs and nuts. - Coilovers. There are several out there, but honestly, you can never have enough. Maybe a simple kit with adjustable lengths, where the end user supplies their own coil. - Maybe some of the stuff R&D Unique left on the table. Their Model A chassis kit was expensive, but popular. Milled chassis parts that can be polished with all the crossmemebers and stuff. - Wheels of course, you can never have too many - Wheel rings, to enlarge, or deepen existing kit wheels. - One thing I would kill for is a set of machined/etched wheels for the IMSA GTO Mustangs. I have begged several Mfgs. for this and all have declined due to perceived low demand. All the existing ones are too big, or too small. They are 15" front and 18" rear wheel sizes, I believe BBS RS with center lock nut. - Maybe some milled suspension brackets and crossmembers for lifted trucks - Wheels for lifted trucks - Beadlocks - Cylinder heads, limit it to certain ones, charge a premium. If someone comes along with a new one, get a group purchase, minimum 10 sets or so to make it worth the time to do the work. - Engine blocks - Same as above - Radiator tops and cap set. 1-2 sizes, for polished radiators. By the time you sand the mold lines out of the kit ones, they look like lumpy potatoes. 2 prices, brushed or polished - Soda cans for interior and diorama detail - Shift levers and knobs. Like a polished B&M lever/handle. Machined shift levers - A bag full of dash and gauge rings. Like a sample pack. 5 of each size, each one like .2mm incrementally smaller than the others, 10 sizes. Then offer 10-15 packs of each sizes. Not just cut off from tubes, but lightly eased/brushed so they are finsihed and smooth. This would make a huge difference for interior detail. I would buy these for every single build - Hobby Design makes them, but a domestic Mfg. would be cool - Various knobs; Push button knobs, toggle switches, etc. packs of 5, 10 or whatever. I buy a lot of these. - Headlight kits for older cars. Headlight body and ring for Model A's and such. I use a lot of Alclad, but I would rather spend the money on finished pieces like this. - Display Plaques. Nice thin aluminum plates with the names of the model milled into them. Not sure how feasible this would be, but maybe a custom order item. That's all I can think of for now

following. One of my favorite subjects that I haven't built yet. Do you need any reference pics?

They have also released the Bugatti Vision GT, Ferrari 488 coupe and Spyder versions. Same type of resin kit.

There are a few builds going on Facebook of this kit right now. A lot of work. I decided to pass on this one.
