Kevin,
The engines are excellent workmanship and engineered to fit easily. Nice job as usual.

I already sent you an email.
Next time you see Ed thank him for making the prototypes and while we're sad they never made it into plastic - thanks so much Kevin for casting these in resin. It looks like a difficult piece to do molds for so thanks for keeping the price down, Kevin.

Hi Guys
I had some questions on the engines. Each one has the manufacture script on each side of the engine. There is no need for any decals, simply dab some paint in each letter and wipe off excess. Its engraved in the resin but needs highlighted with paint. Also the rear bulkhead was a piece that they were going to incorporate into the kit. I did a slight modification to it by adding a small lip so that it will hold the front of the engine cover up. If I did not do that there would be no support up front for the cover. Thanks for you interest. Kevin K.

Hello Everyone I got back from the Toledo model car fair. I met up with Ed from Revell/Monogram and I was able to obtain the three CART Indy car engines, a Ford Cosworth, Toyota, and a Honda. All three have exquisite detail and will be a simple drop in application for your Reynard’s. I had to do a little bit of modifications to make sure that everything fits perfectly. The only thing is the Ford engine sits a little high and you will have to grind out some of the edges in the kit engine cover. You will have to make that modification to the underside of the engine cover for all three engines. I just used a Dremmel tool to make that modification. All three engines come with a rear bulk head that just slides into the rear of the monocoque. If you have an already built Reynard, you can still slide the engine into the chassis (with a little bit of wiggling). This is after you cut the engine cover off. I simply just used a razor saw. The photos basically show how easy this application is. For us board members one engine it will be $15.00, two for $25.00, and for all three it will be $40.00. For more than three engines it will be $13.00 for each additional engine. USA shipping and handling will be $5.00 and international shipping will be calculated on location. If you are interested contact me via email at kuzlynn@comcast.net. Thanks Kevin K. Totally missed that the first time. Thanks for all the clarifications Kevin! Jordan |

My engines arrived today. They look very good. Will need a little finessing, but nothing I am sure most of us can't handle. The detail is quite good.
Thanks again Kevin
