i'd have to get my truck back on the road again before i can get that (would need the space in the garage), but that is a nice find! the only downside is, i don't know anything about that (not like i do about any other), if parts are still available, and how many years it might take for me

Chris, Molds that support thousands of pulls are made out of big chunks of steel with a lot of custom machining that goes into them. According to the wiki article on hobby molding, you might see 100 pulls from an epoxy aluminum mold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobby_injection_molding. I know
