Did the ones I sent not arrive?

[kevin]

when did you send them? i haven't got anything

[MAGNUM4342]

I sent it priority mail over two weeks ago. I just can't remember if I sent them to you or to Tom. I think it might have been Tom since he was the one who private messaged me. I'll see if I can recall the deleted message.

Sorry, everyone! I have the door panels from Magnum. I really need to check back more often. As Kevin said, I'm waiting on a few parts. All is proceeding smoothly.

Whew! Dang it Tom, I have enough stress without worrying about the stuff I mail out! As Ozzy Osbourne once told Kelly "Write me a note!"

[kevin]

thanks all...glad to hear Tom got them he needed them not me!

I have made more of those grille items today tom...more casting on sunday!

Happy 4th & thanks magnum & tom

You're quite welcome. Can't wait to see this project finished.

Any progress peeps?

[charlie8575]

I really like how this came out.

Yet more resin to buy...

Question: did you remove the catalytic converter from the Olds chassis prior to casting it? Not a huge issue if no, but it would save a couple hours of grinding and filling.

its still in progress. hope it arrives at the secret volcano lair soon..

I'm scratchbuilding the grille currently. The horizontal bars stick out a bit further than the vertical bars, so nothing I had would work. Also, this way we get the correct amount of squares. Missing Link has been a huge help and supporter of this project.

My mouth is watering for some delicious pics!!!

[MAGNUM4342]

So where are we with this? Can we see some update pics please?

[kevin]

me too!...just finished casting the latest batch of grille parts will mail them thursday!

[kevin]

well all i have is the parts...tom will turn them into grilles

[Repstock]

I'm slowly getting there. Here's the front end laid together. The space between the bumper and the grille will be part of the body for easier painting. Also, the grille is a loose fit to allow for paint buildup and plating thickness.

Repstock - That is GREAT !! Your attention to the details is meticulous !

I can hardly wait for this gem to be released !

Is the grille going to be molded "open" or "closed", as shown?

[Repstock]

Is the grille going to be molded "open" or "closed", as shown?

Closed. Since the horizontal bars stick out a bit further than the vertical ones, I had to make the grille rather than use a parts box item. This was the only way to get it to look half way decent. I've done open ones before, but not with a pattern this fine. It probably also helps the caster to have it closed.

WOW!! That is some awesome scratch building work. GOOD JOB!

[mademan]

cant wait! want one badly
