Hang in there, more are coming!

They're in the works as we type!

Stephen, we're looking at alternatives but between what the delivery service charges and the materials (boxes, labels, packing, printer ink, etc.) necessary for shipping, it costs us more than the $4 we charge for the lower 48 states so we just can't at the moment. We agree that shipping outside the USA is expensive, but the "global shipping program" from eBay is set by eBay, not us. We don't even see those charges as they are directly billed to you by eBay. We're definitely open to hearing alternatives for shipping if there are cheaper (but still reliable) options out there. On a side note, I was in Toronto a little over a year ago and couldn't believe the difference in prices - of everything! A $5-6 dollar lunch here at McDonalds cost almost ten bucks there. Crazy!

The website is under construction but we're concentrating on building up the product list first. We're both working on additional items so the website has to take a back seat (pun intended) for now but will let everyone know when it's ready.

I didn't see anything in the rules about posting e*** links but if there is please feel free to delete this post and I'll PM the interested party(ies). Bronco half-cabs

I happen to know a guy that's selling the half-cab.

So I wonder if a resin single exhaust crossover pipe would be welcomed?

I hope they fix the windshield & roof error.

As far as the model goes... wow. That's really nice. As far as the car goes, very sorry.

I had a ball building this kit, you can see pictures here: http://jimolson.us/models/71duster/71duster.html I built mine as a replica of a real Duster that was in our area back in the late 70s.

I built this as a review kit for RoR a few months ago. It is completely whacked, I hope no one expects it to be high quality because it's not. But it is a great looking shelf model and a reminder to many of us of our childhoods. I left the body yellow and by the time you get the decals on, the yellow body, black decals and red "glass" really contrast each other and look awesome.

I met Roger (Rodger?) several years ago when we went on a family vacation. Nice guy! We stopped at his shop in Iowa on the way back from the Mall of America. It was in an old school building and he also ran the town's post office in that same building. All thirty or so PO boxes... lol! I bought several items from him including a few kits. He told me the history of a bunch of his products including the awesome rubber tires he sold. I wish I could have picked up more from him but as always, I was low on money at the time.

He's not kidding about the nurses either. I actually work in IT for that health care system so he got a little extra special treatment 'cause he's my lil 'bro. I quit smoking cigarettes back in 1986 and it's a real bear to deal with. I enjoy fine cigars these days but will never, ever touch a cigarette again.

Thanks guys, I know he'll get a kick out of this when he gets back home. He'll probably be coming home tomorrow but by Sunday for sure. Heart problems run deep in our dad's side of the family and we haven't always eaten healthy, smoke, etc. so that doesn't help. A lot of that will change as it did for me a few years back when I got a stent. Our dad got two stents a couple years later, now Chris has his. As hard as we try to do the right things, genetics plays a big part in it and we'll definitely be fighting that in the future.

Guys, most of you know my lil bro Chris by the name Gluhead here. He's in the hospital after having a heart attack earlier today. They put three stents in an artery and he's still got one that needs attention but they'll do that after he's recovered from this. He's in good spirits and will need to make some serious life changes but I'm sure we'll see him back on here soon. Thoughts and prayers for him would be appreciated by us all. Thanks! Jim

Not bad for a hack, eh? lol! just kidding, Glu's my lil 'bro. Here's my version of the same car. His is a lot more detailed than mine.

I think the concept is cool, I just wondered. I've had to modify crossmembers and swap oil pans to get some custom projects to fit right.

Just curious, is there a reason the engine is sitting in there at such a severe angle?

Beautiful!

Yep, someone gave me one of these unbuilt several years ago.

Steve, did you raise the top edge of the windshield to make it correct? It looks like it in your pics. I just noticed it on mine, I made a few resin copies of the kit several years ago and I just noticed it so I have to fix it and re-cast the cab.

The other 'Cat post convinced me to post mine. I did this several years ago and because the front end sits so high I wanted to do something a bit different. As you can see, I think I accomplished my goal. I scratch built the hoist, torches, bench, ramps and creeper. This project took approximately 100 hours over almost three months.

Well I'll be darned, you are still alive and kickin' Mike. Jim Olson

Hey Chuck, I'm not far from you, 'bout 20 minutes north in Shepherd. I built a Duster several years ago to replicate a guy's Duster from Ithaca. Back in the late 70s we used to cruise Alma and he had this car back then. I called him after I did it and he was shocked that I had almost all of it correct just from my memory of the car.
