RGEO has made a few brass tongues to fit Dynamic cast chassis. I think they were "specially made", but I haven't looked at what PM has.

I think those are repops, aren't they?

 

You can find the pot metal ones, which I personally like better than the brass, on ebay. About a month ago I bought 4 new in the package complete chassis kits for $13 shipped each. If you look long enough you can find deals on them.

Now Burt Reynolds can't buy one!

Scratch Rich deVos off the potential Buyer's List as well!

I understand that Elvis was on the list too for a copy!

Rather than cut down content that some are sad to hear, maybe Dokk should release the book in parts or episodes.

That way the parts that are finished can see the light of day more immediately and what isn't can come later.

It could also reduce the overall pricing of the entire book.

Trying to be constructive.

Just my thoughts.
