What ever happened to the Hickey resin hood for the Square body GM trucks?

I don't know what happened to it.

There was talk sometime back here on the forums, when the "Pulled Pork Blazer" was announced that somebody had a hood, and was looking to get some resin copies made.

I've never seen anymore about it.

 Be worth looking that thread back up and sticking it here, just so the info does not get lost.

Here is the link to one thread.

I see you and I were all over it then.

I wonder if Scott Solomon aka "Old Mopars" has had any luck with the parts?

And Fabrux's thread on the history of Monogram's 1/24 Chevy Trucks.

To be honest, I have been so busy on other projects I have just forgotten about it. My issue with it was that it printed, and looked good, but after it cured it curled like a potato chip. I think I got it too thin. I ran it by Charles at Texas 3D Customs, but while I am sure he could unlock the secret, he is also very very busy. 

Let me take another look at it.

Any Luck with this part, Scott?I know I need at least 2 of them.

Thanks, Alan

Would the Toronados happen to be 71-72 issues?

Ironically, that is actually what happened to the original hoods when the resin dried up all the way! I own to of the one-to-one hoods and they both look like smiley face from the front
