2zwudz Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’m looking for opinions on the MCW 63 Fairlane and 64 Comet resin kits. I have not had a resin kit yet. What is the quality of MCW resin kits and how do they hold up after time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have a couple of their kits and the quality is very nice, the price was good, and delivery was also very good. Don't know how well they hold up. I imagine you saw that thread where someone had a resin body warp out over the years and are all worried about that. IMHO that is a VERY rare problem. Resin bodies have been around more than 30 years and I've heard few if any complaints about them long-term. You'd think if that were a problem, we'd have seen and heard a LOT of stories like that over the years, but we just haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimaxion Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 This is a MCW '65 Cornet 500 . I finished this sometime prior to the Praying Mantis Kits . A Tribute build of one I serviced in the '60's . Bought as a Muscle Car , top of the line Cornet 500 . Poverty Caps ans el cheapo Tires sans Whitewalls . On day 2 it would get Redlies and Cragers IMHO and what I recall . Yeah , it's gotta a Street Hemi 4 spd. like the 1:1 did . No power anything to steal HP from the Tires . The only Problem I had is my ow fault . The rear (chromed) Tail Panel was a struggle . I did not check the fit during the dry testing . In my haste .. I exerted too must pressure and blew out the entire Left side of the casting while on final assembly . / Repair / Re-do paying attention to clearances of tight fitting Body parts . This is not Not Dave's fault . My Painting Process creates layers of pint I did not consider .. Live and learn . I faithfully check nowadays . It has been 20 Years .. I have yet encountered problems with castings . R&R included . For comparison , the Yellow one is the Playing Mantis with the 426 Wedge Stage IV . No Power anything , yet Opted out ..
