  1. I tend to watch the forums and pass on any issues to Wylde. He truly is a great guy to deal with! Feel safe ordering and dealing with him!
  2. Here is where she was sunk in Norway. Message me if you’d like to see more pics.
  3. That I like…a lot!
  4. Just an FYI… I baited everyone! The Nova engine is 1:25th. Shows you that the kit makers were not even close back in the glory days! T3D stuff fits just as nice! I just got some Pontiac engines and plan on a column write up. It will go in my Formula 400. My bottom line is don’t overthink things. Support the guys that sweat the details.
  5. Just remember this is an overstock sale. I’m not dead yet!
  6. Lol! I’m not jumping thru hoops! I was trying to take your side! My point, Charles, was that the scale difference is minimal. Your engines should fit kits fine. Why do you think I buy them? Kits are not accurate, especially older kits. I wrote a column regarding this a few years ago. When I did FM projects, sometimes tires had to be increased just slightly in diameter so they fit the wheel well better. Otherwise, a true scale tire would look lost on a certain models. I’ve used 25th on 24th and Vice versa. If it looks good to the eye, let it fly. I own a real BB and it fills my Chevelle engine compartment, nicely. On a Nova or Camaro it should fill it even more so. BTW…I absolutely love that DZ engine!
  7. Not to hijack this thread but I wrote about "Size Matters" in one of my columns. Kits were usually close but not exact. My pic shows an original MPC Camaro that has be rebuilt about 5 times! Next to it is a Nova with a 1:24th engine. You tell me!
  8. After a lot of internal reflection, I reached a decision that I will no longer distribute for C3D. Mainly, my future travel plans are ramping up. Two big trips were completed this year, so Wylde had to pick up my slack. The next two years have even more trips scheduled. Gotta’ do it while you can! Going forward, all orders are to be placed thru him and will be fulfilled by him. It’s really been fun watching him grow! I know Wylde isn’t “wild” about this, but we’ve worked together for two and a half years. I think he can fly on his own. To be very clear…there is no animosity between us! I will avail myself to him as he requests. We will continue our messaging with that occasional virtual bourbon toast! Turning 70 this year hit me like a brick wall. It’s time for me to do stuff for myself, when I feel like it. Think I earned that! Tomorrow is never promised. A huge thank you to all of you who have supported all my ventures! I know I have made many personal friends thru our exchanges and hope to continue to do so going forward. You have all left a very positive footprint in my life. With the Holidays just around the corner, I’d like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

  9. I’ve tried an email I had for him, but no response. Looking to return his parts that he graciously lent me.
  10. Sorry, I just got back to this post! Tahoe….long gone! I’m replicating a Malibu 400 that a friend had in college. Said it was like a SS but not with the insurance premium. He had a BBC, gauges, suspension, buckets and 4 speed. I thought he was full of it. He took me out in it and I still wasn’t convinced. Years later, after passing on a $6K COPO Chevelle, I learned to keep my mouth shut and my mind open. The kit is not the best. Body is incorrect and the nose might work on an El Camino. 4 speed but pedals are automatic. Lots of issues that if I corrected, you wouldn’t see this built in a long time. In doing this, I realized that Tenax 7R has been discontinued. My bottle had evaporated. Couldn’t order new. Instead I used Acetone. As with Tenax, I was careful. Fortunately, I did order more applicators! Moldings and scripts are very faint. Most are all gone! I’m looking for a quick build on this one. The color will be Fathom Blue so that will hide a lot. If you follow me you’ll note that I still have a ‘55 to finish…before I die! Today, I painted the exhaust and other small parts. The one semi black I used looked like garbage, and I resprayed with another. Luckily, it was compatible! That, to me, is a whole issue in itself! I will keep you posted.
  11. Big Thank You for pre-ordering! I am sold out, already, of 2 items! Mind you I received a very hefty restock! CD3- 025 and CD3- 087 are Out of Stock at the monment. Restock looks like around the end of September.
  12. Now is the time! I do a show next Sunday. If you want something, my bins are full!
  13. Back in 2017, I wrote a column on using 2K paints safely. On another forum, I offered to send members the column with an addendum showing my upgrades. If anyone here would like me to forward that column to you, send me your email. My contact is: gbojaciuk@comcast.net. the products are out there and I just want to be sure you use them safely.
  14. I will be set up for Canuck 3D, at the September Showdown in Boyertown, on September 8th! I’m offering product reservations in advance. No payment is required until day of the show. This gives you a chance to look before you buy! Contact me directly if you would like me to set anything aside. Unless specific arrangements are made, anything not picked up by 12:00 noon, will be returned to normal stock. My contact info is: gbojaciuk@comcast.net. Even if you don’t buy, stop by and say “Hi”!
  15. I actually did 2 runs in resin with another guy. His molds are shot, according to him. The original was done by Cheesecast, mastered by Jeff Pierson. Jeff allowed me to use his parts for this Formula package. I only have 1 resin trans kit left.
  16. We chatted last night and I started a list of “Wylde Ideas”! We’ll sit down and incorporate what we have.
  17. Yeah…that would be nice!
  18. A higher authority has informed me that I will have the long awaited Formula 400 package! This should be available at the September Showdown in Boyertown. For your perusal… Yes….the cowl vents are open!
