Me thinks I'm going to have you do one of me. I'll give you a call tomorrow during your session and work it out. But I want you to guess the car...

Looks great, really digging it!

Not trying to necessarily make money as much as put something fun out there and recoup on it if possible. And indeed the resin market consists of convincing people to buy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH they don't really need. But really Dr. and I just want to make some strange stuff for those handful of weirdos who like weird stuff.

Alright folks, after a few long phone calls, 50+ emails and some perusing through stacks of magazines I've decided to make my first production kit. While the subject is somewhat esoteric (purposely, thank you Dr.Devil72), I figured with the resurgence of muscle cars being retro-styled for modern audiences it was time for a throwback to the days of car shows and weird designs. I now present to you the AMX GT Show Car. The car, an AMC AMX GT which ran the car show circuit in 68 had many future design queues. The car in question, was built on a shortened Javelin chassis with a chopped and channeled AMX GT body and a Kammback rear end. I don't have much info outside of a handful of pictures (a driver's side three-quarter shot and a front view) which makes for a bit of "gizmology" fun and also allows me and my guest designer (a certain Dr.Devil72, sheesh with this guy...) a little artistic licensing with this kit. I started to make this a transkit but I soon realized the 68 Javelin kit has been off the market for quite some time now, plus with Dr.Devil72's help I soon came to the conclusion that this will be a full resin kit with all the bells and whistles, but affordable because it will be limited in production. That said, we will produce 25 full kits and 25 bodies and after that it will be no-mas. I know 25 is a very small number, but with two people doing all the work, it's going to be actual work. Plus the simple fact that molds generally are only good for ten-fifteen castings (for technical pieces especially). So soon I will be posting pictures of the kit and giving tutorials on casting. So there you have it, a weird kit from two weirdos who want other weirdos to enjoy their weirdness. Speaking of, the company's name is '2WEIRD-GUYS PRODUCTIONS'. PS While it's only two guys running the company and doing the work, these kits will be done with all the professionalism of Dragon or Tamiya. The instructions will be clear along with a instructional DVD for those trickier parts, a full and comprehensive etch set (with spare parts for those tricky and small carpet monster snacks), vacuum formed windshields, pre-cut pieces of Bare Metal foil, stencils for the paint, decals (for those not inclined to paint using stencils), pre-wired distributor (thanks to Dr.Devil72's amazing line of distributors and detail parts), vaccume and radiator hoses and last but not least, bubble free and easy to separate from the casting block, crisp cream colored resin.

If I can find the pictures and moldsof the Bonneville Kart that I scratch built I'll see if I can cast you one, the only caveat is I lost the vac-form former for the windshield and upper body (I have the resin mold for the body though. My worries are the molds are too old and I've since sold the master to a private collector who has since shucked his mortal coil. If you want I can build another but honestly it will take the better part of six months, but the results will be worth it. Now that I'm divorced and living in a smaller home, I will have more time to devote to scratch building and casting. I plan on ordering a new tank and compressor along with some polyeurethane resin next week. Regardless I'm more than sure you don't want to wait and I apologize for overtaking your post and ranting and self-whoring. Good luck and please post pictures.

Dr.Devil is a great trader and sent extra resin goodies to boot. Hey sent everything in perfect condition and very well protected. Not only did he hold up his end of the bargain, he gave me his phone number to make sure I could contact him in case of any hitches. Trade with confidence!!

Howdy folks, I'm sort of new to the internet and was told about this site from my son. I'm an old country boy who loves his Fords and family. I've been building cars (1/1 scale and 1/25-1/24) on and off since I was five or six years old and I believe it's kept me alive as well as keeping my ole brain from. atrophying. My favorite cars are deuce coupes, 50-51 Fords, 64 ½ half Fairlanes, and the Shelby 'Stangs. I am still in love with the Flathead and will eventually put one in a 95 Ford Ranger (just to mess with young'uns heads) and restore my Fairlane. Anyhow enjoy life and have a good build. D.Ball
