kustomkat1 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 A couple of weeks ago on EBAY a guy was selling mid-'60's FORD BRONCO's resin models, I think his name was lots-4-sale or something like that. Has anyone have his stuff? Quality? How do you get a hold of him, email address, etc etc. Thanx Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 If anyone has any info, or the actual body, of the Bronco, in stock form resin kit, please let me know ASAP. I am not talking about the modified, altered wheelbase version, but the stock 60-70's Resin Bronco. This is a serious legal issue, and your help will be greatly appreciated.

rtcarey11 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 the original resin body was made by cheez-cast. AFX did one years later. I don't know if he purchased the molds from cheez-cast. The bodies were very similar. I have one of the AFX bodies. Ray Carey rtcarey11 rtcarey11@comcast.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the same one as the other companys that made it back in the late 90's Cheeze cast was the company as mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything new? I have heard from a "reliable source" that AFX cast theirs off a Cheez Cast body after they closed up shop. The source said that he thought the original molds were never sold to anybody. I am pretty sure that the Cheez Cast Bronco is a exactly like all the other resin Early Broncos: cast from the Gay Toys plastic toy already mentioned. The only difference is that the kit contained more than just the body, also had some basic suspension parts. Most of the resin ones made since then are a simple (and often crummy) pull of the body and interior only. More info A resin EB is pretty easily found on ebay right now. Have not seen it in person so cannot vouch for the quality. John Edited August 11, 2010 by coopdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this kit off ebay.It came in a plain brown box,but does have the full cab and all the parts shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If you would be willing to send/sell me the Resin Bronco, I would appreciate it. Long story short, I own outright the molds and masters to the Cheez-Cast Bronco (two versions) Yet, due to some issues I will not get into, they were never delivered to me. Yes, it is a legal matter right now, and I will not let it go. I have full documentation on this, including the Complaint that is to be filed (receipts, cashier's check, certified letters, etc.) So, if anyone wants to help out in getting this project back on it's feet, I would be very very happy.

Eric Stone Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 So once the legal matter is resolved, will they be available? Guess I'm asking if I should try to buy one soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
