    You put time and effort into your plugs and molds you will get a damn good looking product out of it, something my boss has yet to learn.

    Very well done!

    I worked in the mold industry for years, attaining that finish is no small task.

    One if my favorite sports cars, and I even has the pleasure of owning one for a while, is the GT6. I swear Michelotti must have been staring at a Henry J while sketching the Gt6 lines.

  17. Scott, I sent a lady your way for some Mopar Muscle car parts for her and her dad. I hope you were able to help her out.

    The Henry J looks great!

    Just saw on your website that your introducing the "Cheetah" body, I have always loved that body style, so sleek .... would make an awesome street car.

    Of all the old cars out there, you did well to pick a Henry J to clone.
    I had a '53 with trunk that I never completed as a nostalgia gasser. They were popular because they were under 100" wheelbase min for early rules. I still have my Henry J folder with all nostalgia pics. Wish I hadn't sold the trunk lid script, but I was always pushing for cash for my next project (Hudson, which I didn't finish either !).



    "Wonder how tight I can wind this baby?"
     
  21. Always wanted one! Awesome. :cool:


    Hey Scott, I just sent a Canadian T bucket guy your way!:)
     
  22. When I was a teenager my dad and I repaired body damage to a 54- just repaired to flip- seemed a very small car- little 4 cylinder-stick- maybe still out in Lyons junk yard for all I know-
