Test shots

[Arkay]

After the silicone moulds have been lying around for ten or more years now I Iat last felt like making test shots yesterday . Today I´ll make the final ones. No matter which scale - American Muscle is great.



This was a HotWheels from McDonalds, a bit too small. I resized it to real 43rd scale and today it will be moulded, too, Nice, isn´t it ? A good basis for a lot of conversions.

Those look like some nice castings! Looking forward to seeing some more. Keep us posted. :text-bravo:

That McD coupe looks perfect. Would you be willing to share how you resized it?

A 1971 or 1972 Road Runner! Woo Hoo!

Can't tell the year as I can't see the side marker lights.

A very sleek looking B body Mopar there.

Well, of course I would sell bodies if wanted.
The question is - with or without glass parts ?

Of course I won't stock up bodies, I will cast on demand.

And I am not a professional. I do this just for fun. So maybe there is a small bubble or cavity here or there. Normally I repair such tiny inaccuracies before I sell bodies.

Thanks Marty,

I love muscle cars but am far away from such deeply detailed knowledges. I'll have a look at the shell in the morning. Now I'll hit the sack.
Let me know when you want me to make one. I can remove the ( in my opinion ugly ) rear spoiler.

Regards,

Roland

Roland,

I was a "Galen Glovier Certified Mopar Jedge" and was judging many Mopar events in our state.

My car was a 1971 Road Runner - Inviolet in color (Dodge called it Plum Crazy) with the 383 4-bbl motor, Auto, A/C, PS, PDB, Chin Spoilers, Rear Wing and Rear Window Louvers.

I had one guy present his car as a 440 6-bbl car, but it had the 1972 marker lights on it. In 1972, you could not buy anything in a big block but a 400 V-8. Hey, he was presenting a car that was zero of zero made. I told him if he were to change all the VIN numbers - including the one on the belly pan - then put the correct markers on, he could bluff his way into a show. I told him he could enter our "Modified Mopars" category since his was not stock. He chose to do so.

During my judging I put my magnet on the intake manifold and it did not stick. That means it was an aftermarket intake as all Mopar intakes for the 440 6-bbl were cast iron from the factory. So, the motor was nothing more than a 440 with a tri-power intake on it.

Let me know when you're ready to cast one as I do want to make a slot car of my old car.
