MODEL MOTORING CHASSIS THUNDER PLUS RE-TOOLING: Model Motoring has just completed new control drawings and has begun re-working the Thunder Plus chassis tooling to bring the specs in line with the original Aurora chassis. The Armatures are being compared also and the same process is being applied. We hope to have the first new working chassis available again in the Fall baring any problems. We will keep working on this until completed and will not be swayed should others introduce a new t-jet chassis in the future.
GM LICENSE WITH MODEL MOTORING We have been working over the last several months to re-acquire our GM license so we may sell our Camaro, Chevelle, 55 Chevy and GTO line of cars. Talks have been slow considering GM's current problems but favorable non the less. We will post any new developments concerning this right here on our site. Should we get this back in place, out first new car will be the long awaited 1987 Buick Grand National.
