Danbury Mint?
john sharisky replied to george 53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
On eBay last night I picked up a mint-in-box, out of production DM '57 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible. I was the only bidder at $199.99. I thought it was a fair price. Not too much above original issue price. I had one earlier but sold it in a weak moment. I think that I was the only bidder because the seller never once used the word "Eldorado" in the already verbose description. Over & over he kept calling it by the Biarritz name. All in the game I guess. John -
Rather than buying the chip charts themselves, I pick my colors from: Auto Color Library: http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/ I order paint pretty much exclusively from Model Car World: http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/ Dave at MCW has bailed me out with custom mixed colors a few times.

Quite the painful thing. I hope that you're much better. John -
Missing Link Resin Maverick
john sharisky replied to Elliot949's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I have this Maverick Grabber kit and I echo the same praise. I especially like the little duck tail spoiler at the rear edge of the trunk lid. From eBay I picked a front under the bumper spoiler that I'll be using. A representative 302 can be found in the AMT/Ertl '67 Mustang GT kit. A correct 302 chrome air cleaner is in the AMT/Ertl '69 Cougar Eliminator kit. A bare resin air cleaner can be found on eBay by B-N-L resin. John -
Not sure but the same thing has happened to me when I tried to soak a Tom Coolidge resin piece in Westley's Bleech White. It quickly turned in to a sticky mess. Today, I only soak Modelhaus pieces in the Westley's. Everything else gets at least soap & water at least with Comet, Bon Ami or Dawn Power Dissolver at the most. John

Morgan Automotive Detail
john sharisky replied to Kris Morgan's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Received in the mail two days ago the MAD '69 Cadillac Coupe DeVille (sold on eBay). Knocked down promo except for tires. Excellent quality casting and plating. I also have Kris' Mustang II body and am as likewise pleased. John -
For over two years? There is no excuse for his behavior. John

Speed City Resin.
john sharisky replied to Steve Prideaux's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Coincidentally I received yesterday the Speed City '67 Buick Skylark. Nice clean casting. No lean, no warp - straight as an arrow. Dense, white resin does indeed look like styrene. Also a shout-out to Alan at Whoopie Cat Decals. With two of his sheets you can get enough decals to accurize the Skylark. Great quality and service also. John -
Same here. "Waiting" for almost two years. My hard earned money is gone. What gall Jeff has to have in paying for that website to remain up. John

1961 or 1960 Chrysler 300
john sharisky replied to gtx6970's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
All American Models did both the '60 300F coupe and the '61 300G coupe. Long gone but they do pop up on eBay once in a while. The Modelhaus did the 300G coupe but wasn't a good seller. The molds have been ground up. John -
You will be very happy with Motor City Resin products. Great casting and service. John

R&R Resin still pulling bodies?
john sharisky replied to JDS Racing's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Ray does unique pieces but quality can vary. If possible, you should purchase your kit at a show that he attends. This way you can actually see what your getting first. John -
The Modelhaus offers a complete interior, correct wheel covers, white walls and clear glass for the '56 Belvedere four-door promo. John
