Well was at jiffylube today getting an oil change in my sisters egle talon and while weighting I started talking to an older guy getting his truck worked on. We'll. He talked about all his vws he has had and I brought up my festy of course and he says ohh really? Them cars are pretty sweet. And continued on saying his buddy boughtt a blue shogun festiva and its insanly fast.

Motorspeedway owns a blue shogun , this guy (or the museum) ALSO owns all the moulds to fab up the body parts. This guy bought the rights and the remaining shogun parts when Special editions closed down. I also heard that he wont even show us the moulds (for example take measurements etc) , so let alone make some parts from them....

The moulds would be closed up with both halves together. I don't believe he has them. If so, then he is paranoid. Leave him alone with his moulds. With money, anyone can have a mould made.Last edited by bravekozak; 11-27-2013, 01:57 PM.Comment

Why the hell would you doubt Phoenix when he's spent countless hours researching and building a shogun, if anyone should know details about the original shoguns he wouldOriginally posted by bravekozak View Post

A rear quarter mold would probably weigh about 1000 pounds and require a 300 ton press minimum. I would assume there would probably be three per side (because of the deep draw). Each costing around $7000 each to make. What's to hide? They have to be stored on a nice thick concrete floor with lots of room and towmotor accessibility. Unused molds eventually rust if not looked after (greased up or sprayed), or end up becoming scrap metal.Last edited by bravekozak; 11-28-2013, 07:50 PM.Comment

I bet the molds are fiberglass. I work with car molds daily and I can say a Ferrari enzo mold is 200 lbs.-Greg
