br67 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Hi, I just wanted to relate this story. Was looking for a set of replacement headlamps for my original AMT Pontiac Ventura Sprint. As Jimmy Flintstone offers a resin copy of the body I dropped them a mail, asking if they would sell me a set of headlamps separately. To my surprise I got a reply from Nancy Laatsch saying if I sent her my address she would send me a set for free! I have never queried or bought anything from them in the past so was absolutely astounded by this small but very generous offer. Thought I would just share this with you.
Dave Van Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Been dealing with Jimmy for many years.......buying the 'Goldenrod LSR car the first day he offered it.....way back!!! A number of transactions later I always come away happy. I'll not say what but Jimmy helped me in much the same way last year...a good guy.
High octane Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Jimmy Flintstone belongs to one of the model car clubs that I also belong to and he his a great guy.

Is it still available ?

Mike999 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Happy to leave another testimonial. I recently ordered a Jimmy Flintstone body (Econoline pickup). For a hearse project, I also ordered a resin Coffin Table (the platform in the back of a hearse used to roll the coffin in/out). An eBay vendor was selling the Coffin Table, but their price was a couple of bucks higher than the JF website. JF sent me TWO Coffin Tables. And as another free bonus, they also sent "Toe Tag Tony." Perfect for a diorama with one of the "Gangbuster" vehicles! Edited November 28, 2017 by Mike999 error
