Any Good Resincasters Here?

[Snake45]

I have a part--specifically, the big-block hood from the MPC '66 Corvette--that I could use a few copies of. Is there anyone here who would like to make me a few, and then offer copies for others? This part fits the AMT bodies with little or no modification so I imagine it would be a somewhat popular offering.

Modelhaus used to offer these, but of course they're gone now (or going). I've seen other resincasters offering "65-66 big block hoods," but they're copies of the custom part from the AMT '66 roadster, and though they're sorta somewhat kinda the same shape, they're not really accurate at all. The MPC hood is much much better.

That is so funny!  There are a lot of great resin casters here.  I am one such person.  I would do it for you.  I might have a mold for a 66 hood but don't know if it is AMT or MPC.

Here are a couple of links to my new IMG account.  As usual there does not seem to be any instructions.  They think I'm just supposed to know what I am doing.  Yes, I am a grumpy Greg!  My Cox email accounts have been reformatted and I don't like it much.  So...The mold is for a 65, MPC I think.  I can make a BB  or SB hood.  It looks like there are supposed to be pins for the BB hood but I don't have them.  I have a mold for the wheels and three spoke spinners too.  These were loaned to me by a guy I do some custom work for.
