Thank Sir!! 25 casting not one pinhole or anything!! I'm very impressed with the new pot!!

 

[DoctorLarry]

I'm going to get one. My understanding is that if you don't de-gas the mold rubber you will get bubbles showing up anyway. I will try it out and see.

Air pressure is the way to go!! You won't be sorry in your investment!! Good luck!!

Very cool, one of my favorite stock cars and street car too.

Little rivet counting for you, the hood is incorrect. The center has a peak and the scoops are too short and narrow.

Hood is being corrected

[gks1964]

And it looks great!!!

Thank you for your help!! Tim finished this today!!

[Sledsel]

I must say, the change to the hood makes it look so much better overall, Looks great

Wow. One of the best resin peices I've ever looked at. I'll gladly take one.

Gerald, the Montego is looking amazing! I really appreciate the extra efforts to make this perfect

[yellowsportwagon]

I’m gonna post the first pictures of it all together. Still needs a little flash cleanup here and there
