That's okay Gofast. You won't find any prices listed even if you did LOL. Everyone wants something different or customized to their car. So, prices vary. Due to that I do not list prices in this thread. I'll send you a PM shortly.

Okay,

Was sitting in front of the TV last night, so I decided to polish the MC Vert. That way I can focus on reassembly of the SM and SB Coupe and the MC Vert over the 3 day weekend :D……

Not the best pictures. It was late and I was tired, but you get the idea:

This is after 2000 and 3000 grit sanding.

I really like this picture as it looks blue in the front and green in the back

This is after the 3 stage polish by hand.

Okay got some assembly done over the 3 day. Unfortunately my heater went out and I had to deal with that, so I didn't get as much completed as I wanted.

SM Coupe:

So cool. We were just talking about how no one does model cars anymore as my father in law broke out a schooner boat that was new in the box from about 40 years ago!

Thank you! I'm a member over on Joe's Diecast Shack and it seems a lot of guys have fallen off the radar. Used to be some really trick stuff being built. Way over the top compared to what I do. But, it seems people have moved on from the hobby. Unfortunately, I am going to be one of those guys as well because I'm getting ready to focus on my 65 Mustang build this summer. I have already cleaned up my garage and put away a lot of my diecast supplies.

So, after approximately 3 years, this thread will probably wither away :(……….

I just received my SM build listed above. I cannot say enough good things about Glenn’s work and dedication to customer service. He communicated and updated as the build went along from start to finish. He verified I was happy before shipping. Like many others have stated he does amazing work. Was worth the money to have a one of a kind collectible that looks like my car. Thanks again Glenn and best of luck to you and your projects.

Hey there. Great work, I've been watching this thread for awhile. I have been contemplating having you create my 03 10th annv. vert before you close up shop. Can you please let me know about cost and everything else related to the build and we can go from there.

Thank you,
Chris

Hello All,

Here is the next iteration. I have 3 cars on hand and an owner is sending me his car for modification. So, I have 4 cars to build at the moment.

  • 1 x MC Vert
  • 1 x OW Coupe
  • 1 x SM Vert (Owner is sending)

No sir, I sure don't. If I could design and print my own parts that would open up a whole bunch of possibilities for me.

I have really been wanting to make a replica of my 380R. However, no one makes the front bumper. I have looked into having someone with a 3D printer create one for me, but it didn't pan out.

I have not looked into purchasing a 3D printer, so I have no idea what it cost.

I’m surprised we haven’t run into someone make model (plastic) parts. Could be a lucrative business for someone.
