RE: Mold lines

Actually it is the very same car, it has been sitting in my back yard upside down for almost a year before I pulled it out and knocked off most of the dirt.

Don't take my word for it just ask Jack, KGB, or Bob J. he put it back there.

RE: Mold lines

Jack,
I think the answer you are looking for "why can't 89 molds be as straight and nice as other comercial kits" is in your question.
There are LOTS of guys who want a Shelby Cobra, lots more guys who want a ferrari replica. But when you get down to it, the market isn't in the thousands or even hundreds for this car. I guess around 100-200 worldwide before the market is saturated at the very most. When there are actual cobra factories turning out 100's of replicas, it is worth it to take the time to perfect the molds, as it saves tons of man hours down the road. For the 89 or any other specialty car, if you are only going to turn out 1-5 a year? Like Don said, get a kid to start sanding.

Hey Nate, is that a pic of all the kids you're going to have sanding on your car? I hear that you can go down to the local orphanage and get a whole crew for 2.99 an hour. Some can sand the 89 and the rest can wax the 66:
