I'm sure they do as they dont want a loser but they've done well just off the suggestions of the masses after consideration. Things that we have been asking for forever that major players said wouldn't sell. Yet Mobius has proved them wrong. Anyone would be crazy to not consider the various possibilities of a tool because of the expense. One of the things many have also mentioned over the years. Yet companies like Revell find it neccessary to spend money on tooling that is a one off. (Foose 56 come to mind here maybe?) I am quite sure Revell has seen what good ideas pay in the long run. (Their series of model A's) Who would have thought a Hudson would be widely popular? Many of us that have been begging for one for eons. While I certainly understand the need for a nice newly tooled 32 or 57 chevy, there are many other subjects that have not been done that some such as Mobius could and has done that have payed off for them. I myself do find the arrangements odd like you. Things probably could be tooled as inserts (and maybe they are) to be able to interchange with other products but at what cost? Is it cheaper to re-tool the same wheel for a new kit vs having an insert made. Or is it just simply more profitable to sell a different kit marketed with different part for those of us that need the thingy ma bober for another kit they sold. I am quite sure there are factors that play a bigger part in their decisions such as this. It is nice to know a company does listen though to suggestions and say "hey, this might be a winner!" and take a chance. Paul

I hope the valve covers are captured correctly in scale. Amt missed the mark on their cammer. Pictures are deceiving when looking for reference but the valve covers are WIDE! Closest thing in scale to date has been the Johan valve covers in the Comet and the Torino nascar, (not polar lights one) They missed the mark on the rest of it however as the engine they used in the kit was a 385 seies, (429-460) not the correct FE series. Also of note, there have been a couple of versions of the real valve covers available but most prominant are the ones with the ford and 427 soch logos. There was also a pre production head that had the plugs on the top exhaust side of the head. (Development engine) I think Mobius has been doing a great jobs giving us modelers what we have been looking for for a long time. Its a modelers company not ran by bean counters and for that I applaud them! I cannot wait for this afx version to come out and will probably buy several!

Chris, I believe this has been a problem with chassis prints in the past. I braced up a pro stock front clip to see if it will cure the problem that someone had. Havent gotten a report on it yet though so we will see if that works when they receive it. Part of the reason I haven't printed the 1/16 Logghe F/C chassis, and I think I am going to add some support to it. Shipping could be an issue too along with probably not cooled from curing completely when boxed up I am willing to bet. (If I understand the process right) should see the box I received from them for a part I had printed for Sandy's uncle! It was destroyed but the part was intact at least. (Nut for his spa that is no longer available, printed in white strong.)

Dave, beautiful work on that can! Can't wait to see the clutch! Paul

Dave and Joe, Thank you. Found an engine for it.... I may go injected though instead of supercharged.

Thanks guys for looking in. I've got a little something on the way that I hope may get me back in there and building again. Not car related though. Time to change it up a bit though so I can hopefully get back to the desk. (no it's not a ball and chain lol) I've started going through some boxes to see what parts I have laying around for this Camaro. Managed to come up with a mint S&S photo etch set for the Revell Pro Mods that I've been sitting on forever! Wonder what else may be in there....may be lost for a while lol. Paul

Just something I'm playing with here and there. Haven't been able to make it to the model desk in a long time for various reasons, hope to get beck there soon though.

I wonder if you changed the mooneyham to mooneyes on the supercharger is anyone would notice? lol Can't wait to see this thing again in person...hopefully completed!

Tim, Really liking the direction this is going! Beautiful work thus far! Paul
