I used to have a 75 grand am, turned it into a Lemans after the original rubber nose piece vaporized into dust while traveling up I-135 one day. that day really sucked watching it simply blow away. Long before the UV protecting in the urethane was developed. Neat old A body GM's. Might just have to look into getting one of your castings for "old times sakes". BTW your products are great!

Hey BK Hitchcock.... Where in Kansas are you?...

Thanks for the kind words BK........I don't think the nose piece will vaporize this time!

INTERESTED IN THE GRAND AM. WHEN WILL THESE BE AVAILABLE?, HOW MUCH?, AND HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?.

THANKS, VERNON

I'll post on here as this & the other cars become available. Don't know pricing yet but it won't be too high.

Thanks for asking!

That Mormon Meteor III will be awesome, saw the real one last fall at the "Speed - The Art of the Performance Automobile" exhibit at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.

Poncho is getting closer.......still working on the interiors........Norseman interior almost ready.

Amphicar is 99% done...will go into production soon.

The Facel Vega has a ways to go yet. I think the Grand Am/GTO is going to be out first as I need to master some suspension components for the Amphicar which will bump it to #2 on the release list. The Norseman looks like # 3(or it could be #2), the Mormon Meteor III is #4 the Facel Vega #5 with the Mormon Meteor I #6. I'm thinking about adding a '60s GMC fishbowl bus & a '60s schoolbus if there's enuff interest. ;)

I saw Al last Saturday and got to handle the Amphicar master. It's really nice and very cool to think that this was laser cut off a computer model. The body and chassis fit together like a good kit!

If there is any way I can help you make the Fishbowl happen, let me know. I have quite a bit of reference material.
