Andy only sold the resin parts for the Monaro, bloke in Sydney did the casting, A mate of mine built up a Monaro using the parts it had the blokes name, Ken tried to find out if he could get more but the bloke would not get back to him. Got a good trade today picked up a old long wheel base Chevy Van and a Kenworth 123 coe truck. :lol: Now to get the Dodge van and short wheel base Chevy van. :D

Was just talking to one of the lads at works who is a fitter n tuner / mechanic. He mentioned etch primer and I said how you need to let it etch the steel n gas out. He was surprised I knew about gassing out paints etc. I laughed and said its the same as painting 1/24 cars, you need to let different paint types n brands gas differently. He was blown away like we've discovered a trade secret or something, made me :D
