In PA we would need to cover the engine somehow - to, sides and most of the rear (as long as the belt was covered). So that might ruin the lines a little bit..
Neat little kit, though! |

Thanks for the link to the FB site. I'm hoping this one makes it to some measure of production that gives Smisek a sense of success. I think it is very cool and ambitious as hell. Cranking out an original design kit car on your own? Awesome. Go Man Go!

He's pulled a body and given the molds to a friend of his to... Hopefully produce them. Fingers crossed. |

The Stark molds are now in Washington State. Rob is building two bodies. One for him (Stark #2) and one for a plug to make production style molds off of.

I really like the lines of this kit. It's just way out of my budget to own one, except in my dreams. Maybe some day... _________________ Homemade rail for street & off road: BJ front beam (bent), IRS rear (boxed/maybe bent), stock T1 DP 1600, 009, 34PICT-3 (soon to be dual 40HPMXs), 4-1 glass pack exh, T3 brakes (F disk, R drum & Dual MC), Bug trans (002, 5 rib going in soon).

Here it is last year at the 2017 Classic:

With the color change, I wonder if this is the second car?
You are correct though, the Facebook page and website for the car are both gone. Too bad when there appeared to be a lot of people interested in a new kit. |
