New Caster on EBAY doing Collonades

[DoctorLarry]

There is a new caster on EBAY who says that he is resin casting to pay bills because he is out of work. He has done some Collonade GM's like a 73 Cutlass, Can Am and now a 74 Regal. Bodies are a little rough looking and the interiors are all wrong for the cars. The Cutlass looked like a re-cast of the Jo-Han Olds Cutlass and the Can Am has outright copies of the Jo-Han Cutlass interior and chassis.  The 74 Regal he just posted has interior that is all wrong for the car as well. It is an outright copy of the Revell 1977 Snap Kit Monte Carlo interior and chassis as well.  I'm not slamming the guy because he is trying to make a living and it's a free market out there, but if you are looking for a kit that accurately represents the actual car, the interiors are all wrong.  Some of you may know that I also cast Collonade GM's, mostly Pontiacs but I am working on two Buicks, so don't take this as a dig on someone doing the same stuff I am. I just want to point out caveat emptor-"buyer beware" in terms of looking what you are getting. If you are trying to be accurate, the interiors are wrong. If the Regal was built from the same Revell Monte Carlo, keep in mind that the Monte Carlos has a 116 inch wheelbase while the Regal had a 112 inch wheel base. The Montes had the same wheelbase as the other Colonnade sedans. So if that body was not shortened it will also be too long. Again, if you want accuracy the interiors are not.
