Sad to say the FE dragster mold was destroyed yesterday during a very bad fiberglass pull. We have had problems with this mold since day one due to some slight inverted curves. Fortunately, the body that came out is repairable, but its going to take quite some time because its so bad. Plus i need to make changes on some of the curves so when the new mold is made, parts pull easier.

No, I sent out a handfull of them. I think about 5 or so. Plus I have this bad one, but it is repairable. I still have the plug too, but one half of that was nearly destroyed when the mold was removed. This thing has been a real pain in my butt. This time though we will get it right...
