A couple of years ago i talked to a man who I think was in Missouri that had bought the 5 window mold from Kilbourne. He had a fire and the mold was ruined. I can't remember his name. Does anybody know if someone is making these bodies again?
Kilbourne is building a 5w again. I saw The owner a Frog Follies last year. Great quality Car For the money.
lildeucecpe here on the HAMB has a 5W with a Kilbourne body. It was built almost ten years ago now and is holding up real well. I don't know why but for some reason this car looks vaguely familiar to me
FUEL PUMP - Whos 5W is that a picture of? I'd like to know if that's a Kilbourne body, and what the wheel/hubcap como is...
Lildeucecpe owns it and yes its a Kilbourne body. The wheels are chrome gennies with 50 Merc hub caps.
Bob Massey is the fellow from Joplin Mo. that bought the molds from Kilbourne, and made some improvements. They were destroyred in a fire. He has since made new molds and to my knowlage is back in business. Kilbourne has also built new molds and is selling a 5w. quote=wfo guy;3771099]A couple of years ago i talked to a man who I think was in Missouri that had bought the 5 window mold from Kilbourne.

Ed if you need a place to park that thing , I can make some room is the shed. I won't put many miles on it. Just a few to make it feel loved.
