  1. Considering the Flameout molds exist its more likely we will see that long before something that never been produced. However its highly unlikely that we would see new show rods produced. Its a totally different market today.
  2. I'd like to know how you give a bonus to those who tanked the company. They certainly weren't doing a very good job of running the company. I'm sure that vendors are also not harpy that bonus are being paid means that they are getting less for goods supplied to the stores.
  3. The common thing when log in is your Facebook account. Its conceivable that there is something strange going on with your Facebook account. What has Facebook said about the issue.
  4. Still don't buy it. Either a computer issue or hoax. Think you need to change the batteries in your bogus meter.
  5. Weird but I seriously doubt that it has anything to deal with the paranormal. First a screen shot means nothing for all we know its been photoshopped. Another possibilty is some one is playing a practical joke on you. There is a rational explanation for what you are seeing.
  6. Congrats on a well disired win(3 peat).
  7. Well how did it do at the show? Looking forward to seeing the completed model!
  8. Chasing classic cars Full custom garage Bitchin rides but tape cant stand the stupid dialog particullary Kevin
  9. I remember reading in Rod and Custom when they found the T. At that time the owner was not interested in selling or restoring. So a clone was built of Norms T.
  10. That is absolutely stunning. The realism is amazing.
  11. Another stunning update. Despite your issues you are getting closer to the finish line. This is a fabulous work of art. Keep up the stunning work.
  12. I agree Ace. And yes its sometimes fun to hope for things that reality tells us won't happen.
  13. Art thanks for sharing your insight into the parts packs.
  14. Add me to the list looking for an update on this cool project.
  15. Great update. Coming along nicely.
  16. Some very cool projects.
  17. Regular guy. You have mentioned upholstery kits several times. I'm curious what your research shows for what the costs to make a kit, what price they will have to sold to make it profitable, and how many modelers will be interested in buying the kits.
  18. That is the biggest issue with parts Packs. In the long run its cheaper to buy a kit for the parts you want and sell or trade the rest. The amt wagon rod has a morrison style chassis with bagged ifs and a four link solid rear with airbags also,
  19. Tiger shark frame and chrome amt frame.
  20. Wow. Impressive work. Cool concept.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
