Fortheloveofgassers Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hello, I am looking for a chopped Austin A 40 body. Altered States shows one their web site.

iBorg Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have one of his first casts of this kit. VERY NICE. As far as Chuck being a good guy to deal with, unless something has changed in the recent past, Chuck is a SUPER guy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_rodder Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I haven't read anything current on Altered States Resin and was wondering how they are to deal with and are their products a good quality. Do they ship or is there issues It looks like so many bad suppliers are online that it can be scary Any information would be appreciated Thanks Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I haven't bought from Altered States for awhile, but I don't recall ever having problems the times I did order from them. Good stuff too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexSpeed Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Chuck is fantastic to work with on all levels. The pieces I have gotten from him are excellent and arrive in short order. I already have a long list of more things I want from him for upcoming projects. I get things from Altered States faster than most other places I have ordered resin parts from. He also goes by "olmandowntheroad" on eBay, too, so you can see his perfect feedback there if you need more support. No worries, order away.

Pro Tech Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Chuck is always a pleasure to talk/do business with. Hey Chuck, we need some resin castings of the seat that comes with the "Young American" to replace the vinyl seat that you can't do much with.

Bernard Kron Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Chuck Meier at Altered States Models has been coming up with some new items lately. Chuck has not been able to update his web site so he has been relying on his e-Bay outlet to show them. I just bought a louvered 27T roadster body from him on eBay. He also now offers a blank tonneau cover for the 27T which isn't shown anywhere. I had asked him for something like that so I could cut my own openings. Up to now he had only offered a L'il Billy/Gratiot Auto Supply salts flats style roll cage shroud for the 27T. Here's a link to his eBay stuff: http://www.ebay.com/sch/olmandowntheroad/m.html?item=121329636660&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 His eBay handle is olmandowntheroad . His regular website, which has lots of cool stuff, too is here: http://www.alteredstatesmodels.com/ Chuck says he's working on getting someone to overhaul his site to add his new eBay stuff, which includes quite a few non-racing parts. Here are a few items that would be of interest here: 1/25 Louvered '27 Ford Roadster Slingster Resin Truckbed T Comp Dragster Body "The Surfers" FED Body 1/25 1/24 Louvered '30 Ford Roadster Burkholder Bros. "T" Touring AA/FA 1/25 1/25 Louvered '29 Ford Roadster 1/25 Louvered '32 Roadster Resin 1/8 Drilled Drop Axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAT-T Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 COOL STUFF BERNARD, CHUCK IS A GREAT GUY, I BOUGHT ONE OF THE BURKHOLDER BROS OUTCAST T BODIES FROM HIM, I JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO BUILD IT YET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Invader Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Bought one of his Slingster Resin Truck bed T Comp Dragster bodies from eBay - great quality, almost no cleanup needed. Edited April 29, 2014 by AK_Invader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My order arrived today. It took less than a week. Very nicely done as always. Thin, white, styrene like, flash free. I've got some other projects before I get to this stuff, but the louvered '27 T will soon become a Speed Sport 1 style drag machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hey Bernard, Thanks for the info on Alterd States / Chuck Mier's eBay I.D. is oldmandowntheroad Just the other day I was. Looking at the Surfer's Dragster Body, being that it is a resin piece I was a tad bit leery of buying from an unknown source. Chuck really doesn't let his potential eBay buyers know that he is the guy who is casting the products. I thought that he was just someone unloading a bunch of unknown resin stuff so I didn't pull the trigger and buy it. Guess I'll have to go back and look again.

Bernard Kron Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Skip, I just received my order from Chuck on Thursday. It included the Surfers body. It's clean and nice as always. I haven't had time to figure out which kit chassis it fits best, though. The Surfers car was a "leg under" car so I'm hoping it fits the Ramchargers chassis OK. I agree that Chuck hasn't done enough to promote himself. On eBay established modelers would benefit from knowing that those are Altered States products. And since he's expanding into parts for hot rods he should include that on his website. But Chuck's aware of all this I'm hoping he gets around to a website update and perhaps brand his eBay stuff "Altered States Models". Please note that Chuck's eBay handle is "olmandowntheroad", no "d". If you enter it with the "d" it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I test fit the shell to the Ramchargers rail chassis and it fits like a glove. This is the same chassis found in the MPC American Graffitti rail kit as well. For you replica builders you'll have to back date the motor to a 392 type, convert the steering from the kit center pivot to the classic external type, and change over to hairpin wishbones. But the wheelbase and leg-under set up are pretty much there. This is the classic FED era in its purest form. There was never a tougher lookin' rail: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just got an order from Altered States Models yesterday before I left for work. I rushed home this morning so I could open the box and see just how good their stuff really is, I'm in awe. Everything I ordered is perfect almost styrene perfect, no flash, mold lines are nonexistent. Chuck's quality is amazing, even more amazing is the way that I was treated by Chuck he kept me informed the whole way through the process. Even told me that he thought one of his molds was worn a bit so he made another one, the part looks like it is straight out of a brand new kit, let alone a piece of resin. Dealing with Chuck is customer service the way it should be, he just earned a spot on my preferred vendor list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Helferich Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) I just pinched the rails on a Ron Cash Deuce chassis for Chuck's '27 T roadster with the louvered trunk. I have several of his bodies and plan on buying more. I agree that he should mention Altered States on his E bay profile.
