This is an extremely limited run and might be the only run of these. I lost a tremendous amount of money on doing these and if I'm not impressed by the sales or excitement I will never do these again. 1/18 scale Honda Superspeedway side pods and engine cover for the Greenlight diecast This kit will require TEST fitting, clean-up, sanding, washing, filling. This kit has been pressure cast but may still have some minor air pockets on the car, but nothing that will affect the looks of the build. SOLD out for good! and forever!  |

I made a bunch for others but listed 6 for sale this afternoon
as long as the molds keep going I will cast them but don't expect me to make another mold of this as I don't want to spend anymore on this project - it hurt my checkbook too much.

I don't build in 1/18, but I'm certainly thankful that people like Calvin are there for those of you who do build in that scale.
By the looks of the demand, this seemed to be a promising project!

The mold broke. There is only two left. I'm not doing anymore! This lost me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money, plus it was a flop, and not fun at all to do...on and on and on.
Last chance and it will be gone forever.
SOLD out for good! and forever!

So, I guess this means you are not going to do the Chevy?

I have two of them and think they are great. I am tempted to modify the side pods and do a Graham Rahal Mid-Ohio winner.

I assume they're gone? I filled out all the forms a few hours ago and didn't receive any PayPal confirmation emails. Tried again now with the same lack of a result.

My check out is almost the same as Indycals with like two clicks.... No I just looked and I still have two in stock.....so I have no idea what you are doing? You click the add to cart then it pulls up a new tab showing you added the item....then proceed with the paypal. |

It's my phone. I'm out of options on screen, so... Scroll right of course  I'd like to do the Rolling Stones car, so I'm glad I still got one. And I can't fathom that no one snatched them up already! I'd figure Juan needs about a dozen, and between Hinch, Justin, and Daly as possibilities, we'd easily be looking for another ten on this board. |

I'd figure Juan needs about a dozen, and between Hinch, Justin, and Daly as possibilities, we'd easily be looking for another ten on this board. I already snatched up what my pockets could afford. They will be life savers for the cars I'm doing for James and Conor. I've told him privately I'll say it publicly now...Calvin you're a life saver! I appreciate all the hard work you put into these (especially since I'm still sanding away on the one Ive tried to build) and am bummed it didn't work out for you. I wanted to get those last 2 but wanted someone else to have a chance at getting one of these. Steve glad you got one. |

I have two of them and think they are great. I am tempted to modify the side pods and do a Graham Rahal Mid-Ohio winner. I have too many projects, but am working on 2 cars as well. One SW and one RC. The RC wings look too awesome to not build one of them! Thanks again to Calvin, wish these were more successful for you, but I know the small group of diecast builders really appreciate it! |
