Well haven't posted here in a while finally got around to doing the farmall grille and the 28-29 model A grille. So what do you all think? Thoughts and comments? You can email me directly as well Cheby33@gmail.com

You kill me!

How about a brake booster? I still have to add some studs to mount the master cylinder to. I think Jeff on LSM has a Wilwood master he is getting ready to cast but I'm not 100% on that.

DUDE!!! You broke my grill! Just kiddin...It's your grill now. So what's the plan?

Okay so what do you think? Tractor grill anyone? It's still in the development stages. Feedback is encouraged & welcome.

Just a quick word about the parts I sell on "FEEBAY" I strongly encourage anyone that is going to buy from me that they should do it off ebay because I can do better on the price. I have had to adjust things because now ebay is charging a separate fee for shipping. Unfortunately I make almost nothing on these parts as it is so I have had to pass this on to the customer. I sell a couple of $2 items and after all their fees I'm lucky to get $1.25. Now add the cost of purchasing to product in the first place and you can see my profit margin. As I have stated before I really don't do this for the $$. If I did I would have been out of business a long time ago. I will be putting this on several boards so sorry if you have to read it more then once.

Guy's can we let this go please? LOL I hate drama & wish this talk would die. Lets get back to creating works of art shall we....

How about some 37 Hudson headlights to go with the 37 Hudson grill? I cast the buckets using a rotational casting method there is nothing to trim. The parting line is right on the trim ring so once you pull off the little bit of flash, that's it. No gate, no vents, nada. As for the stands; I cast those on the grill itself so they have the same contour as the grill or I have flat one's as well. Let me know what you think. I glued one together & popped the lens in to give you an Idea what it will look like.

Email me directly at cheby33@gmail.com Thanks Jim

PM sent.

Any interest in 1/25th or 1/8th scale piston shifters?

Not that I want to open myself up to target practice but... I did a little more work to it & was wondering if you all liked it better without the lower valance? I cleaned up the inside as well. I think it looks better; do you? Any & all comments welcome. Did I just hear a riffle cock?

Well now you won't have to.

Thanks for the props Chuck.

I could just play stupid... Who am I kidding....Play?

I just looked them up. They make a 32 ford grill with a custom 37 truck insert. Thanks I did not know they made one. As I have stated many times I'm not a builder I just observe 1;1 builds & try to offer parts for you guys to build stuff with a similar look.

WOW! Art you have had a lot of time to think about this subject! I REALLY am not doing this for the money. I probably spend more money on developing molds buying supplies & paying ebay fees then its worth. I just enjoy bringing things to the table for you guy's to build stuff. I am a guy that did a lot of old car related stuff in my youth & over the years I have been unable to work on my old cars; so this is what I do now to tinker with old cars. I just can't get down on my knees to work on them I wish I could. I suppose I will just have to be content with looking at the models you all make because I just don't have the talent for it. It is very time consuming making these parts but I enjoy it. Trust me I'm not getting rich doing this. Just seeing my parts on a nicely executed model is gratifying enough. PS. If I were to type out a post that long it would take me 4 hours...(I'm a one finger bandit)

Why buy a whole kit for just that one part? Just my take...

What's funny here is; everyone is assuming that it's a copy of the revell kit. It is not. To be perfectly honest I was in the local Rite aid and my kid picked up a car & said "daddy can I get this?" "Sure can but I get the grill!" I replied. Thanks for the feedback that's why I posted.

I just cast up a 37 ford truck grill. It's two pieces and it doesn't look too bad. Is there any interest in these?

The wife & I drive twin Impala's Mine is the plain Jane hers is flamed. Hers is an 01 with airbrushed blue tribal's the flames have marbleizer in them & they are out lined in Kameleon all house of kolor paints. Blue reverse glow white faced gauges with all the back lighting deleted. Color matched moldings (front, sides, & rear), & mud guards. Stainless steel duel exhaust from the cat back. Impala SS rear wing, 18" Chrome aluminum "Wired" wheels and a billet TRENZ" grill. We had all the emblems removed & I hand made custom Impala's without the ovals and applied them & finished it off with painting the rear tail lights and limo tint. She loves her car but hates it too. Because she can't go anywhere without someone saying "Hey I saw you at (Insert place here) the other day". She always says she could never sleep around she'd be nailed in a heartbeat...I guess in more ways then one! Believe it of not the kids like driving in my 02 plain Janer because it has a sun roof & leather seats. They like to slide around in the back seat...Kids! Gotta love'm. I like mine better because it has the 3.8 buick motor in it VS her 3.1. Also pictured is my old 33 Chevy 3 window we had but sold it a few years back. Boy do I miss that car.

Thanks for the info chuck. I got my 30 Model A touring in today. I am going to reproduce the lights. Maybe we should do a poll on that! LOL

Chuck where did you get the 682-C headlights? I'd love a set to borrow so I can cast them up & I'm still waiting on that farmall grill...? LOL

I did get around to the headlights on the 1/8th scale version. So I guess the 1/25th is next.
