I will gladly pledge $20 toward any expenses you incur saving these molds for a while. If these are the Vanagon molds then I'd expect that we can put together enough financial backing to do a run of 10 or so. That may take a while and the important thing is to save the molds for now. thanks, mark Steve wrote: > Well....
