Re: Where in the World is...
I just don't understand how such a GREAT and well designed piece could just fade away without a clue as to where the molds are. Pirate racing ran several different nose sections, some two piece and some one piece. I have the one piece aero nose on my race car. The piece was supposedly develope with Jim Minneker when he was racing C4s in the Bridgestone supercar series. Unfortunately this piece will not work with a street car. I just Love this nose airdam section and it just looks like the way the car should have come. I just cannot believe that they wouldn't have been able to sell a ton of these in the hey day of the C4. Very unfortunate but thanks for posting.

Re: Where in the World is...
I am leaning heavily towards re-creating the body treatments at the moment, for my own car. Turquoise has ran its course for me.

Re: Where in the World is...
There were a few sold, Tommy had problems with getting them produced and this was also towards the end of business closing and he was having alot of financial problems. He sold the sets of mold to 2 different individuals and never delivered complete sets to either person...

Re: Where in the World is...
Now THIS is a hood to die for! Looks as though the Turq Monster will get a new coat of Morrison Snake Skinner Blue before the next Gathering.
Oh yeah, it's also getting complete Snake Skinner body treatments from Morrison's original molds. So long Turq  See it at next year's Gathering with any luck.

Re: Where in the World is...
I have permission to use the molds for only my personal use. I'm so very grateful to the owner of this history.
The kit isn't all that complicated. A guy could make his own easily enough if he wanted. I studied the kit last week and after I got home from BG. It looks like a GM, GTO kit was used and modified to Morrison's taste. The hood is the only complicated part.
