    I agree.........I am a sucker for cool shit. I wish I was talented enough to do this. I think it would be a cool way to make a few extra $$$'s.

    I can also guarantee you that the amount of time to make these is worth more than the asking price.

    those are cool! looks like hes sellin a bunch.
     
  8. Nifty but pricey Ill say so.
     
  9. That's a fact! Factor in the price of the model, then the time and materials to do the car, it's a very good price, IMO!

    Do people expect these folks to sell these for $29.99, I wonder?

    I have seen those and they do not compare to these. Most of the cheap-done one do not look realistic. Ever seen rust on a rubber tire ??? I have actually seen some of these (junkyard jewels) in person and the are amazing.
     
  15. That's funny.

    Cool isn't cheap, but you could build a real junkyard for what those cost.

    Ok seriously..The're cool. If i didn't have so many real car parts i needed to buy yet i'd buy a few of them.
     
  18. True, but with these, the zoning Nazis can't do shit to you.

    For the cost of a Franklin Mint, compared to one of these....one of these is money well spent. For guys like me who suffer through a long winter, these are a nice alternative.

    Yeah, take a look at some the steps he does to build them. Price is fair I think. Plus you can send him your own die-cast as well and he can build one out of it. Wish I could do this kind of stuff.
