Nice work on the mods to add the Quick Change rear , this will look killer when finished ! I always planned on doing a yellow Little Deuce too but that was years ago when I did my "little " builds , got side tracked and just never got back to them . Really happy to see you doing one !

Ordered on the 11th and received today the 13th ! On the right is my old sheet next to the new sheet I just received , I didn't dig out my micrometers to measure the thickness but using calipers they both are approx .001" thick . I cut a small corner off the new sheet to measure the thickness and to test applying it to a part , the adhesive is good (not too much) and it sticks just fine . It has a smooth finish and looks just like the original stuff . . . I think we have a winner ! Hopefully Steve's results will confirm this .

Sorry to hear you may give up on making masters , I do understand but as good as printed bodies are they're not perfect and need some prep work . . . we still need great resin bodies like yours . As for the 72 Montego GT , put me on the list !!

Remember seeing quite a few with extended forks when I was a kid , great job ! Love the slick ! -
Outstanding work Brad , possibly the nicest Chopped T ever posted ! I missed your WIP thread so I just went through the whole thing I got quite a few ideas for future builds . You gave a source for the wheels but I didn't see any mention of where the front and rear tires came from , do you remember ?

I like the basic grey , great looking Super Duty !

You're not kidding about it being yellow but it looks good on this one ! Really nicely detailed , great job !

Along with the "Zingers" created by Dennis Johnson MPC also came up with "Super Zingers" that were even more exaggerated with even larger engines and tires . These were the "Slightly Altered" Corvette and the "Fired Up" Dodge A100 Pickup which later became the "CB Freak" . I've had fun building Zingers over the years but was never very interested in these later kits . Recently I acquired this almost complete built-up and wanting to do something quick and easy decided to give it a shot . After disassembly I repainted it and replaced the engine with one from a diecast , added some wheelie bars from my parts box , and made some decals for it similar to the originals . While Zingers aren't for everybody I'm satisfied with how this one turned out , and it doesn't take up much space on the shelf !

Always enjoy your builds JC , I'll be watching this one ! Good solution for the cowl issue , and those engine parts look great together .

I misunderstood , you were asking that maybe it isn't Tom Daniel but the word "Cop" that was a problem . I get it now , my mistake .

Atlantis has the Tom Daniels license . Pretty sure the Daniels and Revell split wasn't very friendly .

Beautiful color and some excellent detailing ! Well done John !

Beautiful Duster Jim ! Love that green paint !

Great looking Wildcat , well done Tim !

I'm pleased to tell everyone that Resin Model Ranch contacted me today and I apologize to Ron Andrews for my earlier negative posts . While I've bought resin kits from several vendors this is my first time doing business with RMR and I was very impatient when there was no reply to my emails . I know better especially with supply issues and vendors being backed up with more orders than they can handle in a reasonable time frame .
-
What gets me is they tell you to email them to place an order then don't reply to any of them . Lousy customer service is one thing I can't stand , I've fired employees that repeatedly do such things . Are these guys in any way associated with Reliable Resin ?

Beautiful little wagon Rich ! These are great kits but adding the vertical bars to the rear window is a must , well done ! -
Beautiful Impala , your Dad does excellent work ! A small tip on photographing your models . . . hold the camera a little farther away and you won't have the blurry areas . All of the details will look better too .

The last email I sent used my gmail account . The website specifically says for orders to email "rmrmodels@gmail.com" so why would they not receive it ? Makes absolutely no sense to me . Maybe you can call and ask him to check his emails .
