Brutalform Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I was looking on their site earlier today. Didn’t know they were out of business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 I bought some of his A/FX Dodges. I am building my last one now. I was gonna order some GM A/FX the other day but a no go. I really liked his stuff. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 How do you know he’s out of business? I just looked up his page and took a screenshot. It appears he’s open for buisness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Crapologist Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Here's a quote from his web site: "We have very little time right now to re-making molds and casting resin. "Speed City" is not our main source of income, but is more of a a hobby/business. Thank you." So he's working hard elsewhere (one might assume) and if you want something that's out of stock you have to send him an email request. One might ask: what happened to Holthaus's masters? I'm surprised it wasn't divided up somehow to other casters. Cheers, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t want people ordering more than two of anything, as not to deplete his inventory. With the exception of “little time right now to remake molds”. My bad. I didn’t see that part earlier. He’s got some great stuff. Hopefully things will get back into full swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems that they are selling off most of their unsold inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Crapologist Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Tom, we tag teamed that fine. You pointed out he is still in business and I mentioned the subtext of emailing and getting on a waiting list. I sent him an email of my wants and he pointed me to the "order form" so I'm going to order (and pay) and see what develops. Scott mentioned he has no set due dates so I'm going to assume he's not going to stock much in the future so you pay your money and he'll get to work. We've all seen how this works with cottage industries; after a successfull decade or so making not a lot of money and little appreciation they suffer burnout and wind up doing things as requested before they pull the plug. Hope he can maintain productivity for another decade, he's got a lot of great stuff as evidenced by the photographs of builtups. A lot of his product was done in co-operation with Whoopie Kat decals which is now totally defunct. If I had the energy of a twenty year old I'd buy his platforms and make myself a job and get burned out too! Best wishes, Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
