Aaronw Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Matt Conte (Lookout, Dencon, Grumpy Denise) was doing some really nice resin stuff for medium and heavy duty Ford trucks from the 1950s before closing up again. Had a set of fenders for a 1950 F-8, a sleeper cab for a 1950 Ford, saddle tanks and a 337 V-8 Flathead among other items. He was also working on some stuff for the Revell Dually, but don't recall if that came about or not.Someone had done the masters of this stuff for him.Does anyone know if these items have made it to another resin caster?Whatever personal issues dealing with Matt people have had (and I know there are many), this stuff was really nice so I'm hoping that the masters come back to the guy who did them and might have found their way to another caster.

Jim B Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wanted to get some of his F8 stuff, too. Hopefully they will show up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Does anyone know if these items have made it to another resin caster? Kitchen Table Resin makes the Ford 337 engine: http://public.fotki.com/KenK/kitchen_table_resin_kits/ford-big-job-337-v8-/dsc06616.html This post might help in regarding the F-8 cab: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36565&p=375506 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like we need to get in contact with Dave Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Casey, thanks, I've bought some of Ken's engines in the past, but didn't know he had added the 337. That is really the toughest bit to deal with, I can make do with most of the other stuff on my own if it comes to that.Dave's not a member here is he?

Jim B Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've seen photos of Ken's 337 Flathead Ford, and it looks like everything is there. I haven't seen it in person, though. It is on my buy list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I got the F8 sleeper cab and fenders but missed the engine before Matt's problems so thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
