Yeah I saw those. The two good things about making my own are:

1. I can definitely say I made it.

2. Mine is actually closer to 1/8 scale.

With clod axles there will be about an inch of stickout on both sides with 2.2's and with TLT axles it should actually look truly "scale". Well, maybe.

My boss spilled the beans and told me what he got me for Xmas.. I have the complete kit to turn the clay mold into a plaster type mold.. He has been doing his reserch and found everything we need to complete this project.. I have the compreser moddified to pull vacume and just need some heating elements and temp controls.. Thats all if I wanna do it myself.. I may just send it to the plastis shop and let the pro's do it... Either way I am still on my 60 day target..

Somebody was asking for a measurment.. here is one from a week or so ago..

It depends on how this one comes out. I was thinking about doing a couple different versions like a canvas top and no top. Haven't made alot of progress due to Christmas coming up.

racerx · 12-27-2005, 12:41 PM

Hey skipster! Where'd ya go? How's the body coming, just wondering if you made any more progress? Later

racerx · 12-31-2005, 09:08 AM

racerx · 01-01-2006, 06:56 PM

HELLOOOOOOOO! Is this thing on?!

Good projects guys I have been making molds for over 35 years the last 13 or 14 years molds for RC boats. I have been toying with the idea of making a 1950 jeep pick up. Hear is a picture of a mold I am working on.

It is at the point of spraying PVA and tomorrow I will be spraying gelcote to make the FG female mold. My end product will be a CF/Kev. race boat.

That would not hurt, But some measurements would help more. I just want to get the proportions right.

thaclodking · 01-04-2006, 08:57 PM

I do own a wagon, if you want picks of one of those.
