Cool, so it's fairly easy since the original program was done?? If John was still alive, my car would probably be done, with me learning the procedure, I would have another shark (because he owed me another one), and we could all have benefited from the man by him showing the procedure. Like I said- that was 4 1/2 years to do what he did. I know how to do the rest of it, but I need alot of time and material.

I don't understand why your Maco went to somebody else if you had a contract that said he owed you a Maco.

Exactly my point. I was very surprised at the whole thing. Obviously he didnt expect to die. Alot of unanswered questions. As I said- I lost a ton of money on the deal.

I also don't understand why you would sign papers after he died nullifying the contracts. Apparently the car should have been left to you instead of his friend... all after the fact though... or water under the bridge.

Well, put it this way, at lest we have John Bohannon to show us how to replicate from molds but, to create one is entirely different. I have searched the net for old school handbooks on just such a thing. Their are a few out their but, It would take time to master.

I'm kind of wondering why YOU "Car Guy" haven't laied glass on your Camaro and got it over with already. John knew the whole procedure entirely from building the prototype from concept to molds. I figure
the mold and glass part may be the easiest part but, then again I know nothing about this topic, only a viewer that wishess to have had the opportunity to work with Silva and learn from him.

Ok, good question, McBrain. I know how to finish the car, and actually got glass cloth and mold release about 8 years ago. I am partly ashamed at my answer, but it is actually that I didn't want to get into it that deep. I wanted someone else to finish that part of it. Call me lazy ,I guess. I have built several other show vehicles in the past few years, been featured in a couple Magazines, and won every show I have been in. The car just sits. I need a kick in the ass to get back into it. I always end up getting something else+ building the crap out of that. I should just center my energy on the Camaro- it probably could have been done years ago. It is alot of work to make molds and full body panels. I will probably just do the minimum to get it done. Maybe this summer I'll start. I was just involved in an internet scam in April, that forced me to dig it out, run it + clean it up. I have alot of pics of that day. I looks great. I am hoping to maybe get some help from John Bohannon on it. Who knows. Here are a couple pics of it now. The air spoiler in the front was chewed by raccoons in the last garage, so its not on anymore. What do you think of it?? - actually- now I am having a problem putting pic's on here. Says system error!- Any idea David??

admin: low on disk space... no more Camaro pics
