Top Gun molds
 

Does anyone know where the 94' era 38' top mold might be? Phil said he didn't think they were at cigarette anymore. Just wondering if they were sitting behind someone's shop. Thanks, travis

Weird to think they'd get rid of the mold that was their best selling product for well over a decade. But then again, not like they'll ever make one again.

Hows the project coming along? When do we get to see some updated pics?

Not much updated so far. I spent two hours inside last sat. press. washing with steam to clean the good surfaces before we start grinding and glassing. I have the bullet I'm still trying to finish and a buddies scarab. My top gun seems to get pushed back too often. I will def. post new pix as we get something going . Thanks, Travis

hey Travis, check us out on the other site as well, everyone can pm over there, and you also get to see where those parts I bought wind up on the 20..got 2 sets of heads if you know anyone that needs them, they came off of 500efi's..Rob

With all the space Cig has at the factory, it would be hard to believe they got rid of them.

all those molds have been destroyed. even the 90 mph mold was destroyed. i was told this by a real good cig resoruce. they also told me it would cost them more now to build an old top gun then a new one

Did they make a new mold for the 38 bottom, or are we just talking about the deck?

also check with joker and pantera..take a look on some of the salvage sites too, you may be able to find one with a hole in the hull but deck still good.

So what you're really saying is our boats are worth more than a new Cig? I'm pickin' up what you're throwin' down!!:drink::drink:

im surprised they werent sold to other builders.

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.

Rob....

I still doubt that they have been destroyed.

I would doubt too...

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.

what's this? What are you working on?? Do I need to swing by the house and pick up of these hatches from you?:drink:

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.

Yes, they are gone.

Want me to make you one off my boat?:party-smiley-004::grinser010:

I never knew the 90mph had its own mold. What was different ?

I'm builting a new 575 hatch. I'll have a mold if you need one. Stop by anytime if you want to check it out. The race hatch is at Pfaff. Hes putting low profile intercoolers and whipples$$ on. :)

What do you need a new hatch for?

Dude, you're f*ckin' crazy!! what the hell did you do with the blowers? That boats never going to see the water huh?!:grinser010:

I don't need a race hatch...Just like how they look:drink:

I was cruising through your neighborhood today as a matter of fact.

Hey Tank,
I sent you a PM. Trade??

Blowers, carbs, flame arrestors are for sale. If you know anyone wanting them. Pfaff thinks he can find a buyer. I'm hoping to reduce the whipple cost a bit. OUCH!!!

The Real Question is.....
 

I wonder who Don would have sold them to....based on his history of selling the old molds.. We will never know

I am not 100% sure, but I remember hearing that the Cafe Racer mold was what was used by Nordic when they built the 35 flame?? I'm not totally sure, but I thought I heard this before...maybe they might have an idea about the TG molds??
