Hello all, the decals are done and have arrived, the instructions are being printed tomorrow and box's being purchased this weekend. I hope to have the first 12 kits in the mail by Wed. of next week with the following 13 orders going out in another week or two depending on how my funds hold out. I am not taking anymore orders for this kit as the interest has been non existent for some time and I am ready to move on to another project, hopefully to be ready by Thanksgiving. Much thanks to all of you who placed an order!! Lance

The interest will increase 10 fold as soon as the kit is out of production.

Lance,
I'm surprised there wasn't more interest in 1 of the most iconic Indy cars of all time!
I'm a big fan of the old "dinosaurs" & really appreciate your efforts in bringing this to us - I'm looking forward to building mine & think it's a cut above previous offerings
Any hints on what we're be seeing around thanksgiving?
Jim

I am shocked there was not more interest the photos of the master are incredible. Cant wait to get my kits. For myself, having already purchased multiples of every other Sellars Novi as well as one of Jorgenson's, while I considered buying one of these, the clock simply ran out while I thought about it. Also, I really wanted to be able to mate it with a copy of his Novi engine model, which I asked him about and he refused to even make available. I would buy at least half a dozen of those engines if I could. I have heard stories about other model casters making one for sale, but so far it looks like when I finally get around to building my Novis I will have to scratch build the engine. I always like Gary Doucette's models because he would leave space open for a possible engine. All the other folks make me grind out resin for hours and that is a real bear. Last but not least, if someone is going to make an announcement about availability of a particular model, it would be helpful to me at least to have some kind of advance warning that time is running out, etc. This time, it seemed pretty snap. pbh |

I'm really looking forward to seeing mine!
You just can't beat a Novi!
Lance, maybe if you announce a "last call" (please!) for these you might get enough orders to make it worthwhile to do another batch.
I know I'd definitely go for at least one if not two more.
That way you'd get a little more return for all the time you've invested so far in this gorgeous kit.

I agree with the others. I am looking forward to getting this kit, it’s my favorite Novi and I’m glad a true craftsman like Lance is the one to bring it to us.

Another 15 kits will be going out mid week this next week. New molds for the body are needed so the few remaining orders will follow in about 2 weeks.

The Novis arrived and thanks. Really a great looking kit. The wheel assembly jig is pretty cool.
