Does any resin caster cast this timing chain cover?

[Terry Sumner]

Looking for one like this for a Big Block Chevy....

Terry, I think there is one similar to that in the AMT '64 Impla. I can check and make sure,but I know I have seen a timing chain cover like that in my parts box.

Terry ,

AMT 1937 Chevy , I'm almost positive ! At work , will check when I get home !

Not to be a killjoy ... You commented on the fussiness of this particular forum's "rules " . You would be better served to use either the Cragars from the AMT 1937 Chevy or the ' 65 El Camino kit . They have the Cragar logo on the cap , the MRC mags do not ! Check your photo , the logo is quite visible !

[Terry Sumner]

Thanks John, Roger and Donn! Donn...the SLM is after doing things the correct way..or at least as correct as possible....true. But I suppose I could get away with such a small transgression as missing the Cragar script...mainly because I have them already but don't have either of those 2 kits ya mentioned! )

[LoneWolf15]

Yer gonna get a beat down , yer gonna get a beat down ! Lol ! I'll check for you on that timing cover , looks very familiar to me !

The AMT '39 / 40 sedan also has the Cragar mags if that helps !

[Terry Sumner]

John...just checked AS and Speed City...neither has it.... (

Donn...6-2...260...I can handle 'em! LOL

[Terry Sumner]

Donn...thought I was in luck...I have an AMT 40 Sedan Delivery kit. But alas, that kit has Keystone Kustomags in it....

Terry,your talented enough to scratch that.Use some ribbed evergreen,punch out a round disc from styrene and steal the water pump ears from some other FC. When done cast several and you'll have a lifetime supply.

Neat how that cover has 'CHEVROLET' spelled out on it...don't think I've seen one like that.

John...just checked AS and Speed City...neither has it.... (

Donn...6-2...260...I can handle 'em! LOL

But they're so tough on the Internet ..... Lol!

Nope , only the sedan has them ! Such beautiful casted mags too , shame that no one ever offered these up ! Come to think of it , brain storm ! I think I'll contact our boy at MAD , see what he thinks !

If I don't get back to you tonight , then definitely tomorrow morning on that cover !

Well we'll see Mike. Here's a first attempt. Not happy with it. Shape is off, need to make the fins even smaller, etc. But learned a lot making this first attempt. Gonna try another! Funny though...it looks better in person...probably because this pic is 3 times actual size? Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Terry,If you are lokking for Cragar S/S mags with the name on the center cap,the AMT 66 nova has them in it.It's got to be the stock kit,the pro-street does not have them.I'm not sure about the Boyd's edition.

The ones in the nova have the best detail that I have seen so far.It will be the one with the red car on box.Hope this helps you out,bigtim.

Terry - I have the timing cover and Cragars from the AMT '37 coupe, still on the trees.....and you, sir, have a PM.
