I came in late on this offer, if you're still accepting orders I would be interested. Also do you take paypal?

Thanks, Vernon

The big question... This item was mastered... as in scratchbuilt... by Charlie Rowley and cast by Tom Cooledge do you have Tom and /or Charlies permission to recast his product?  It is their intellectual property.

Note added- I had emailed Charlie and below is his reply.  I'm glad to see this is a sanctioned casting, unlike some we've seen here recently.

To whom it may concern:  I am the originator of the W300 and W500 that Oldr-n-dirt is referring to.  Here are photos of the first pop of the W300 that Tom Coolidge did.  The same master would be used this time.

And the W500 was done using a casting of the W300 as a starter.  As you can see the rear window is much larger, the fender flairs are bigger and the grill is altogether different.

Both of these trucks went on to become fire apparatus models.

I would think you would get more responses if this was asked in the truck and light commercial resin section of the forum. While I seldom read that section myself, I would assume that many truck builders may not read this car resin section regularly. Just a thought.
