Hello Everyone, on the "Garage Area" page of my website I am posting info and photos on mold making, resin casting and vacuforming equipment that I use. In later posts I will get into how and why these systems are used . I hope this will be enjoyable and useful to you all in one way or another. Lance

Really looking foreward to this, Lance. The Novi kits look great. Would you consider selling just the wheels and tires. Take Care Craig

Thanks Lance, how-its-done articles are always interesting. Really interesting to see how much is involved in making a high quality casting. Ditto to Craig's suggestion of selling the wheels seperately. Sandy

Lance -
Thanks very much for the information on how to cast things. Like Sandy it is interesting to see just how much effort is required by you to make the kits that you do. I am anxiously awaiting my '58 Novi. Like Sandy I would also ask if you would consider making your wheels and tires as a seperate accessory.
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks guys, this will be an on going "how to" article with more being added over time. Down the road I hope to do an article on making a kit from start to finish. The first batch of Novi's will go out by Wed. of this week , orders are being filled in the order they arrived in . I have not had much success selling just wheels an tires and am not sure about doing it again. Lance

We might need a video on YouTube too I found the high level of sophistication very interesting. I've seen the way other casters do theirs and this is light years more advanced. Thanks so much for sharing Lance! Jordan

Wow! Loving this Lance! I dabble in mold making with easy objects such as helmets and stuff but you have already shown me ways to do things better. Great stuff!

I don't know if I'll ever get to the point of moulding my own kits, but I agree with the rest of the gang, it sure is interesting to know all that goes into our hobby! I enjoyed Mike's "how to" on decals and now to the other areas! Really great stuff!

Thanks, Lance, for sharing this with us!
As to the wheels/tires, how *successful* does it need to be? By that, how many sets, etc., since you already have the molds?
Looking forward to the *new* Novi arriving. ;D
