I can't get into the whole story right now as I'm getting ready to go out the door, but I've been in touch with a fella who has an original set of molds for the Enterra Vipre. He's been storing them for 20 years, but he's now losing his storage space. He's upset because he's had promises made and broken in regards to help with saving these molds. He's ready to smash them up and dispose of them in the next 15 hours or so. (By 7 AM Pacific Time on Saturday.) I've begged him not to do this.
If you have some input on a solution to the situation, please post here or PM me. I'll be out for several hours, but I'll respond when I get back.
For anyone not familiar with an Enterra Vipre, this is what they look like...
And yes, the molds are for the same car as this completely rebuilt beauty from The Construction Zone... Enterra "Dark Shadow" Restore Thread[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 09-19-2015).]

Ask him to at least hand them to someone else for temporary storage (like you Patrick) while this all gets sorted out. Once they are gone, they are gone forever...

I've pleaded with the fella not to be hasty.
Troy, I've sent you a PM.
Okay, I'm off the grid for the next four hours or so...

Okay, I just got home.
The molds are not far from me, located near Vancouver. I'm going to phone the guy now to see what the latest news is.
[EDIT] No answer. I left a message for him to phone me up until midnight. It's 11:12 PM Pacific Time right now.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 09-19-2015).]

Alright, it's just after midnight here and I haven't heard anything.
I'll be checking back in nine hours or so. Hopefully we can resolve this Enterra mold issue successfully.

No surprise... the body was designed by the same fella, Joe Palumbo.
Talented guy. Some info/history on him HERE that you can no doubt read a whole lot easier than me.
More information (in English) on Joe Palumbo and cars he's associated with HERE and HERE.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 09-19-2015).]
