66belair Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Has anyone used Mill City Replicas resin bodies? I was looking at some on EBay. Was wondering about the mold quality.
68shortfleet Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I have a couple of his bodies, but have yet to build one. They are definitely going to take a bit of work to get all the flash cleaned up, then decide how to deal with the casting thickness(very thick). Pretty sure everything I have from Jimmy Flintstone has less flash and a thinner thickness profile. All said though, mine are very buildable into a nice car, just going to take some work. And he is the only game in town for a few items, so not a lot of choice.
John Pol Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I had some of his bodys when he first started they your really thick don`t about at the end thou
socal76 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Castings are a bit thick but they are good quality on the outside. If my memory is correct he offered a Formula 5000 air intake (may have been Andy Martin, but I am pretty sure it was Mill City). I sure wish he would remaster it (not straight as cast) because he was the only person I have seen that ever cast it. I really like it on one of my '69 Camaro projects. So if he reads this post maybe he will remaster it. I will take the first five if he does! Got a few low dollar dragsters that they would look great on.
