I'll be putting most of the hollow cast up on EBAY in about a week or two.
My schedule has changed significantly, I am currently working at GM Global Headquarter in Detroit, four days a week, so commuting from Chicago has limited my modeling schedule.
I just want to make one correction most of the GM and Ford hollow casts were done since October. The solid casts have been developed over the last couple of years

Joe, Will you be offering these hollow casts as kits or finished? Chester

Once again, all I can say about Joe’s models is that they are really fine models. I’ve got many of his early solid cast resin models, and most of is new hollow cast resin ones (bought in kit form). All are really great additions to our hobby.

Kits are easier for me to make and package. I'd love to offer as finished but I just don't have teh band width.

The Mopars are done, I had forgot about them when I created the list for Bjarte.
Sylvain has told me he thinks the 58 Dodge is the best I have done.

I have just been to ebay.com, and noticed that Joe (seller: suberba) has several of his projects for sale right now; 58, 59, 60 and 61 Plymouths, 58 Dodge, 57 Ford Custom plus another nice surprise and totally unknown model so far (to me): 1965 Rambler 880 2-dr hardtop ;D The Ramblers were very popular cars here in Norway in the 1960s, especially among Taxi operators (4-door). The 65 Rambler has therefore been a highly wanted model by me for a long time, and now Joe has made it available. Thanks again, Joe for your great work ! This '65 also bring me a little closer to my AMC dream model in 1/87 (altough they are quite different vehicles): 1968 AMC/Rambler Rebel (4-door), which is the only AMC vehicle in 1/1 I have owned so far - I would love to see it in 1/87 some day. (Is the famous Rambler Marlin fastback coupe (another of my favourite Dinky Toys (ca.1/50) models) based on this 880 (Classic?) series ? - it looks to have the same lower body shell ?).

1965 Rambler 880 2-dr hardtop Bjarte, If you want to know more about this AMC Rambler and what most of us are thinking of it, have a look in the "Insane?" thread, in the early messages. There has been quite a talk about it, and about the Marlin too…

Dear Bjarte,Joe:
Any plans to mold the Marlin? It will be an interesting addition to 1/87.Only one model in other scales.

Dear Bjarte,Joe: Any plans to mold the Marlin? It will be an interesting addition to 1/87.Only one model in other scales. Just an idea I came up with; I wonder if one can use a (modified) roof from a CMW 66/67 Charger on Joe's 65 HT, to make a Marlin ? (What do you think, Joe ?)

The conversion of the Minix Rambler would be very easy, I think I could turn one out very quickly, the problem is scale at 1/76 its just to big.
I have tryed casting the Atlas 1/70? 1962 Chevy slot car grille hoping with each cast I could get to 1/87 via mold shrinkage. Unfortunately after casting one peice five times, it looked bigger than the original
On a small piece I can experiment, but with an entire car, it could wind up costing hundreds of dollars, with limited results.
So if you want a 1/76 Marlin, no problem.

Dear Joe: I do not mind to have a 1/76 Marlin.I assume that the 66/67 Charger from CMW can not be converted to it.

It could be, I have made a mold to make a solid casting of the Charger.
It was made for my stalled 1967 Coronet four door sedan project. It would be very easy. I have a couple of other project in line first.
The following will be done within the next two weeks
1961 Olds Cutlass Wagon 1956 DeSoto Adventurer 1961 Econoline 1961 Corvair Foor Door
By the way I have put up some other items on EBAY.
a series of 50's and 60's Mopars.
