Hey Travis,
I may have a race hatch for ya soon or you can have your flat hatch back. I'm almost done with my 575 hatch plug.

I still doubt that they have been destroyed.

You know, for some reason, I was thinking about the 2001-2005 T/S molds and not the straight bottom molds. I do believe that Cig would have probably destroyed those molds and kept the older style T/S Gun molds.

This is fact. I got the same info from someone at the Cig factory. They have destroyed the old molds.

I remember reading somewhere that when Skip bought the company the molds were in pretty poor shape. Wouldn't surprise me if they chopped them up at some point.
