73 RICHARD CHILDRESS LAGUNA

[gks1964]

I cast a bunch of 73 Chevelle/Laguna bodies! I decided that I would build this one for myself.

Looks like pretty clean castings. Well done sir.

But I cringe to see them piled into that box. I ruined a whole run of '61 Dodge Phoenixs that way. Warped beyond repair, even though they have no meaningful weight to them. I'm even unwarping a body that was safely (but unevenly) wrapped in paper towel for too long. Only hard flat surfaces for me from now on.

Thanks!! You are correct about warping. They were in the box to be move to the steel table!

Sweet!! I just got hold of a original MPC kit of that style front end to a decent price but man they are hard to find! Nice to see some one is casting them! I even made a inquiry to a person in Sweden if I could cast of my sealed kit. 
 

will be following!!
