Looks nice on the pics. I won't be wanting one of the cab conversions but I am definitely in for the fender flares and some bumpers. I just got a kit this afternoon too :)

Aha!  Procrastination is my friend once again!  The Bronco that first comes to my mind was the utility vehicle that belonged to my high school.  It was that green with a white half cab.  When we ran cross country practice, the coach would ride in the back of this Bronco looking back at us all running behind it!  We hated that Bronco!  :P    So of course I need to model it.

Look to have one, but $20 Shipped? I paid $19 for the Bronco. :D

I have the same issue Ron. If for the $20 I also got the wheel flares then I would be a buyer.

Is there a web site for Olson brothers resin model parts .

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.

Jim, do you think you will adjust your shipping price as it does seem high and you may lose sales over it.  Especially for guys in Canada who are already paying $1.35 for every $1US.

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 half cab kit looks really well done. I used to own a 1:1 full tip Bronco with the fender flares and I was interested on modeling my old car. When will the fender flares be available to us? Definitely want a set :)

Living in Norway sucks when it comes to shipping. This said this rate is very steep.

Other sellers charge between $8 and $13 for so small items.

That's the global shipping program, Tommy. eBay figures those rates based on shipping to a US facility then to the non-US buyer. It's easy for sellers because they don't have to deal with the post office and shipping papers, which can be a PITA. Yes, a seller can choose to sell and ship to other countries for a lot less, but it takes a lot more time, and on a $16 item, probably not worth it. 

The rate I saw, $4.00, seems extremely reasonable considering shipping materials, packaging time, and actual shipping cost.
