2zwudz Posted January 23, 2020 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?
Snake45 Posted January 23, 2020 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.
dimaxion Posted January 27, 2020 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 .. Thanx
