Just a update on the progress on the HotPants kit molds. Things are moving along, as you know I already make the rear spoiler, I'm working on the side rocker w/spats molds now I have the Right side just about done the left side will be next week then the front spoiler for the early cars 71/73.

I'm going to make another front spoiler that will fit the other years so the Hotpants kit will work with all the pintos & wagons.

I started a album for the Hotpants kit progress.

Mike,

This is awesom stuff man! Looks nice. Can't wait to see your finished product. I hope we do you well and buy lots of them!

Dave

Thanks Dave

If it wasn't for CookieBoy (Thanks Brian!) letting me use his NOS Hotpants kit this wouldn't happen.
It's nice when you have nice clean parts to work with but it's still a lot of work making good molds.

LS Rocker w/Spats

douglasskemp · « **Reply #6 on:** September 16, 2008, 04:07:38 PM »

Mike, you are a true credit to our small (although steadily growing) community. The hard work and effort shows in what you do, and if it wasn't for absolutely good folks like yourself willing to take our niche to a higher level, some really neat projects would be hard pressed to come to fruition. I really think that you do not get enough thanks for your time and skills. Once I get my own projects actually started, I hope to join the ranks of the few folks that have purchased one of your products. I will tell you that your pillar pod has made me rethink trying to get a CW gauge setup for my '77 wagon.

Thanks Douglasskemp

I enjoy making parts, it's a lot of work & getting a little pricey today and I hope to make a few Bucks to recoup all the time I have invested in this glass..

I have both rocker molds just about ready they just need polished, I'll move on to the rear spats & the wagon spats next then the front spoiler..

Gettin closer..
Mike

Update..

This is the first test (LS) rocker..

discolives78 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 01, 2008, 10:13:15 PM »

Very cool! I was lucky enough to see Cookieboy's pinto with hotpants on youtube before I found you guys here. Would be a nice addition to any pinto! I would be interested in knowing the price when they become available. Thanks to all you guys for the dedication to stuff like this. I'm on a budget, so I'd have to save up for something like that. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Guys!

The first one (LS) is out of the mold ...
