Welcome. From Michigan here as well. If you are interested in joining a club, there is a great one that meets once a month in Dearborn. Feel free to PM if you need any info on it.
Yes there will be. Morgan Automotive Detail, SMBC, Missing Link and Motor City Resin will be heading out from Detroit to set up. There are also many kit dealers with good prices.
Dude runs outta gas out in the middle of nowhere. A bee stops by to ask what the trouble is. Dude tells him stay here I will be back with help. About 5 minutes later he returns with a swarm of bees. They fly into that gas tank, buzz around and come back out. The bee tells the guy to try it. The car starts right up. The dude says thank you and ask what they put in there. The bee responds BP ofcourse.
Morgan Automotive Detail has just had one mastered. It will include the body, interior tub and a rear seat. The master was done by Jerry Stewart which did the master work for MCRC's Turbine car wagon and Missing Links Cougar wagon. We hope to have the mold done soon.
HoHummm, Very interesting and neat in a way. Very, very sad in another. I spent about half my childhood growing up in The D and the rest in the suburbs of Detroit. Makes me very sad to see the shape it is in now. Those in power have done nothing but run it into the ground. Detroit was a happenin place back in the day. Not sure what can even be done to help it recover at this point.
Jo-Han was known fo not wasting any plastic. If they had a bit of whatever color plastic ready and in the machine, they would inject it into the molds for sprues for the chrome parts. After all they were to be sent to the plater anywho.
