All by myself? Yes and no. It is expensive to make the drawings, plug and molds.
But it can be done.
I'm more a projectmanager in this stage, but believe me, it is not easy.
I can't make the body drawing and do the milling.
Preparing plug and molds by myself.
Now busy with a 250GTO '64. time consuming and very expensive.
Biggest problem is to decide how many and which details, how to mount, collectors item or a rc car... etc.etc.

Hi Paul, will the 250GTO be a complete ground up design or a modified Daytona coupe mold? Have you ever considered a 1964 Cheetah or 1966 Chaparral? I think either of these 2 will be a great seller.

Ok, the AC project is finished, took a while..
Learned a lot, tons of fun and lots of frustrations.
But the models looking fine.
Some mistakes, striping sucks, but ok. Next time better and I ill fix the bad issues.

I will go to the next level.
Do the same models but with a v8 and tubed chassis. Nice.

In the meantime I'm working on the new project:

Ferrari's.
Especially the 250 GTO '64

Thanks for watching.
