Resin cast W900A extended hood
Just checking to see if the would be and interest in a resin cast W900a extended hood you would use your king hauler cab and cut the factory hood off? It would also require you to move the cab back.

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
the headlight moulding would already be there also?.just have to add the grille and the lights and any emblems you wanted to put on and paint of course

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Chromed headlight bezels will be included. Again these are not for sale just checking the interest at this point.
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Ok thanks

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I have allowed this to see if there is any interest before he makes the investment so he has an idea if they will sell.
I tried this once before and it did not work well but I am willing to give it a shot and hope the forum does not get dumped on again. Travis |

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
The hood is really starting to take shape so happy with how it's coming along I don't want to post a pic until its done I thinking Mondayish

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Its getting closer need to make the air cleaner cut outs and drill the holes for the headlights and a final sanding but think it looks pretty good

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I would definitely pick one of these up

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
It looks great, and in my opinion, now would be a good time to cast it, seeing there aren't any holes in it. I think some builders would prefer to drill the holes themselves, depending on what they use for headlights and air cleaner tubes.
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I was going to include Headlight Bezels and lenses
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
ill take one! neil
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
:bounce: Looks GREAT :bounce:
When will they be available?:confused:? KW, KW, KW.... :jump: - RCT |
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
No holes. And beautiful work!

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Late fall I'm thinking and as far as holes go how about just dimples were the holes go?
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Yea that would work for those who don't know where to start to drill...i would take a few some with holes and some without in case i wanted to build something different with...they look great....good job my friend.. with me its the the light bezels that must look exactly like the real one..i would most definitely get a few from you eric :bounce:
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
You know I'm interested in one :D
Have to start with one at a time... :p Oh, if I could only win the lottery, but that means I'd have to play, right :lol: - RCT |
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I would be down!!!!!!
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Count me in for one also. They look excellent. :bounce:
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
The hood is ready for casting it will be ready by the end of the year. But I now hear word of a 3D printed one. The 3d printing is nice just not sure about the reparability of the plastic they use I know the resin is easily repaired with a little CA glue and it bonds very well. What do you guys think keep going with having it cast or let it go?
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I haven't seen the 3D option, but I've always thought the more options available the better. I think you should cast it if for no other reason than to have an alternative hood available on the market. :cool:

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I think the resin will be less expensive but not sure yet.
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Are you looking at casting yourself or out sourcing? Something that size would be fairly easy to cast yourself, thus reducing cost. I wouldn't worry too much about competing with the 3D printing. Albeit they are nice, they are still expensive due to being a fairly new process in hobby modeling. Just my two pennies tossed on the counter... I'm interested in your hood, I like the detail you put into it. Great job!
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
When you have any ready I would also like one... Any cost yet..

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood

Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Just wanted to get everyone up to speed on this project the project hasn't died it just needed to have some things redone do to cracking of body work so it got benched for a while but has come out of hiding and I started working on it again I wanted to male what cracked was all that was going to crack be fore I did any more to it
|
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
Looking great...love to see another old school hood made.
Just wondering...after the final prototype would you be better off having it copied in 3D? This may save you time and money after you get the hood ready for sale?? |
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
I will still take a couple of them...
Wayne |
Re: Resin cast W900A extended hood
As far as the 3d option I don't like the 3D materials they don't paint very well and you can't repair is easily as resin.
