What? You go all that way and use it for yourself? If you just finish it and re-mold it, you'll have a perfect one!

Just tryin' to help... ;D

Hey this is the car I was just asking you about!

I still want to do a modified '37 Chevy modified coupe in 1/32, and this would be the ticket - along with the '40 Ford you pulled from the die cast kit - another project of yours I am wondering about.

If you have a reject I could do without the nose or running boards etc. - but I do need a fairly consistent wall thickness - is it a two piece mold?

This and the die-cast-derived '40 Ford will be much closer to scale than their Pyro based off-scale counterparts.

Let me know when you have these available.

Hey Dave, this old hat for you, well not the 3D printing part, but can you imagine how I felt when my first Studebaker came out of the mould?

Pretty impressive sir. This is going to be a cool slot car. Look forward to the finished ride.

And no secret that I want some of these.

Well done!
