Austin T Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That's my one big problem with modelhaus they don't show their product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I purchased two 1970 Olds W-30 hoods and they are perfect! The rear spoiler, needs some improvement, but from the other items I've seen, they are quality. He won't email pics either, tried that.

Gluhead Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's Don Holthaus. He's the Chuck Norris of resin casting. No need for pics, because you KNOW you'll get the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This is the only source of pictures I know of: http://public.fotki.com/jsharisky/modelhaus_resin_items/ Not sure if the Ambassador is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That's my one big problem with modelhaus they don't show their product! I asked about that recently in an email to them about a non-SS Chevelle grill. I got a very terse reply stating they work 60 hour weeks and have no time to take pictures of anything.

Dan Helferich Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Tom, I have a hood and interior bucket from a '68 Ambassador that I was going to PIF over on the Spotlight board. If you need them PM me your shipping info and I'll send them to you. It's all I have left of the one I bought in '68 and built as a funny car.

I got a very terse reply stating they work 60 hour weeks and have no time to take pictures of anything. I am surpeised that is all the hours they work in a week... Don is the leader in Resin casting and probably sell 25-50 pieces to everyone elses 1... I know I buy between 50-100 pieces a year...

tktom24 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll take the pictures, if some will help me with with the posting them. I'll do it for free. I would buy more from them if I could see the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this may sound kinda stupid,but I have to see what the product looks like before I pay the kinda cash most of their products. Also wouldn't it only help the business to post pictures of their stuff, even if they have to put in just one more hour a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Helferich Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The problem is that they produce thousands of parts. I'd rather have them filling my order than taking pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Since most of their parts are kit restoration parts, I already have a good idea what the part looks like...I've been buying w/ confidence from Don for at least 20 years now. As far as their resin kits, there are photos of many them online, in particular a site on Fotki. Edited May 9, 2013 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-Machine Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The problem is that they produce thousands of parts. I'd rather have them filling my order than taking pictures. And the stuff they make really is high quality. My experiences with their products has always been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roncla Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Koolest Kruzers has a sub section on Modelhaus and has photos of some of the range. If your french is non existent like mine you can use google translator. http://koolestkruzers.smileyforum.net/t1572-modelhaus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 First you can bank on it that anything you order from Modelhaus will be a top quality product. Second Don, Carol & their son work full time producing resin stuff for the rest of us. Probably can't handle any more business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) First you can bank on it that anything you order from Modelhaus will be a top quality product. Thats fine for existing and/or a previous customer base , but imo if offers nothing for new or potentially new customers something to look at to see if the item is what they want . Pictures go a LOOOOONG way in a products success,,,,, or not . Edited May 9, 2013 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I lived in Decatur IL for 20 plus years before moving in 2004. I never heard of this place, when did it start up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
