TECHMAN

Anyone able to tell me if Alan is still with us??? Thanks DJ

He used to be active on several different forums (back when)...... Lost touch years ago.... DJ

??? I was saddened to hear about Dave's death, and must admit, a bit apprehensive about "new owners" of his business, was relieved after talking to Doug Wagner..... Just received my first order from Doug today, order was PROMPT, and Doug shows to be the same caliber of businessman as was Dave. Feel quite comfortable recommending him and his company to anyone. THANKS for everything Doug DJ

??? Price hikes don't surprise me.... Gas prices since 2020 went from 1.49 gallon to over 4.00 per gallon, price of EVERYTHING is gonna go up...; DJ

At first, I thought you were gonna say you moved next door!!!! Same thing here... NO hobby shop, closest at Somerset (42 miles east) to Hobby Lobby, 48 miles to Burnside to a LHS (that is open about half the time I get over there), 65 miles north for another HL, 68 miles west to HL or Hobbytown.... With gas right at $4 a gallon, and 16 miles per gallon, I was HAPPY to see our local Wally-World bring in some kits. Sometimes location & circumstances alter our attitudes... DJ

??? Let us know when you're ready to put them on the market. THANKS DJ

??? I, like a bunch of us, would LOVE to see lots of the old Johan kits' "come back out", and maybe this is a precursor to the release of a 56 Pontiac, but if it isn't, then where would the interior do any of us much good???? Been to a LOT of model shows over the years, with hundreds of vendors, and think MAYBE, have seen one old warped promo for sale.... DJ

Same thing here.... two kits, both had the right frame and the drag-link goobered up... Quick call to Atlantis, Rick grabbed new frame rails and drag-links for both kits, and put them in the mail!!! "Woopsies" happen with ANY company, but their SUPER PROMPT handling of the problem was not only impressive, but most welcome!!! Will definately buy their products in the future!!! DJ

Sad to hear.... Every dealing with Dave was 100% straight forward, one of the most honest and prompt people I've run across on the "web".... Also, his products were always TOP notch. Was always super pleasant on the phone too. Will definately be missed! DJ

X2 Right out of the late 50's/early 60's DJ

??? Welcome back to the "plastic world" GARY!!!! Recently moved from East Texas (Longview) to Ky, and one of the best shows within "sensible" driving distance was the Dallas show. Lotsa friendly competitors, vendors, and usually covered by the national magazines.. To find out a bunch of the particulars, when you first open up onto the forum, there is a list of "upcoming shows" on the right hand side. Click on the METROPLEX CAR MODELERS SHOWDOWN 2022 (It is on March 5th). Know that is a pretty good haul for you, but well worth the drive. DJ

??? Those stands were in the AMT 32 Fords, 34 Ford Pickups, 36 Fords, 39/40 Ford Sedans, and 40 Fords. As was mentioned, they were made with "universal" type mounts, that way you could interchange the Small Block Chevy from the 32 Ford Coupe, the Chrysler Hemi from the 32 Ford Roadster, the MEL engine from the 32 Victoria, the Tri-power FE Ford engine from the 34 Ford pickup, the Pontiac engine from the 36 Ford, the Olds engine from the 39/40 Ford sedan, and the Nailhead Buick from the 40 Ford Coupe. Any of these kits should still have them in the kit. May have a few "spares" if you need... Hope this helps DJ

??? GREAT JOB replicating a very complex old racecar!!!! Awesome detailing too!!! DJ

??? Like what you are doing here... Can't tell you how many 1:1 cars we put 48-57 Chevy Pickup "straight axles" up under, and also the 53-56 Ford Pickup axles.... (Poor boy straight axles) Keep us posted on the progress!!! DJ ps= whatcha gonna use for engine/trans???

??? AWESOME JOB!!! The real car was always one of my favorites, you have certainly done it justice!!! DJ

??? Already got a couple of these, and a couple of the dragsters on "pre-order", will look GOOD sitting beside some of the AMT Double Dragster builds!!! DJ

??? CASEY is another person that you need never worry about, GREAT GUY!!! DJ

??? Add DAVID GURGA (ewetwo) to the list, honest trader, Man of his word. THANKS David, anything I can ever help you find. DJ

PM sent DJ

??? Alright!!!! Have always liked these!!! Just enough of the "improvements" to turn it into a great build!!! Nice job Tony!! DJ

??? JEFF Got your 6-banger out of a 53 Chevy Monogram kit... PM me DJ

??? Every dealing I've had with Dave was 100 percent AWESOME!!!! I too wish Doug the best, and hope that he carries on the AITM line completely... DJ

??? Dave Natalie at A.I.T.M. gets my vote!!!! Everything I've gotten from him has been FIRST CLASS !!!! DJ

??? Just left our local WMART in Columbia KY with a Grumpy's Toy Vega, a 64 Cutlass, a 65 GTO, and a Snow Plow kit.... Cars were 19.95 each, and truck 24.95 DJ

??? Most of us Oldtimers will enjoy "stepping back into the past" with this kit, and the Mooneyes dragster both!!! Waiting for BOTH to get out, as mentioned, will make nice additions to the shelf that houses some of the old "Double-dragster" kit cars... DJ
