MCM or Motor City Molds. Someone else is now making them and owns the molds but I'm not sure who now is making them.

That could be the Motor City Mold hood, or it could be a reproduction such as the ones sold by vendors like Ecklers.

That is an MCM and we will have them into production soon. It is taking longer than expected but will be worth the wait!

Somebody had one in the for sale section, a silver one that he was wanting to trade for a stock hood and some boot. Might still be there.

I can deal with that, really looking forward to these

... I'd rather wait a little longer and get the best quality possible over having them rushed into production and end up with mold and fitment issues

Waiting with "Worm on Tongue" (Baited Breath)..
Being a Low Budget Corvette owner, retired, but having enough of a head on my shoulders to know that I only want to do this ONCE...
Been shopping for over two years for the parts I want to get the car where I want it.
Marc has been on my radar since the day he announced having gotten the molds.
So, I'm still trolling him... LOL
