  1. Tiger shark frame and chrome amt frame.
  2. Wow. Impressive work. Cool concept.
  3. Regular guy. The chrome parts pack frame is not the chassis from the car craft dream rod/tiger shark. They are totally different from one another.
  4. Very hard for resin casters to be viable. There have been a few that have been successful but a majority find that just don't make enough money to make it work. Resin casting is low volume. One is doing real well to get 50 copies before the molds break down and need to be replaced. The original parts parts were a failure because of economics. A typical kit was $2. The parts packs were I think like 69 cents or more. To build a model from parts packs required 5 packs. A body, frame, suspension,engine , tires. It all added up to be a losing proposition. Where as a single kit has only one.
  5. The things I see as parts pack winners are definitely tire packs. The only cost is packaging and the cost of a run ofwheels and tires. The headlights sound like a winner. Another possiblity would be traditional street rod parts. Quick changes, dropped axles, etc. The losers would be custom parts and uphostery kits. Just don't see interior materials as there are better ways to do it. Just look in all the projects here and I doubt you'll find an uphostered interior. Same as parts packs how many projects do you see using the old style custom parts. Second the old kits were not really laid out to be able to run them as seperate parts packs.
