george 53 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Ok Ok, So i know WITHOUT pics it don't mean Jack, BUT you guys GOTTA JUST TAKE My WORD! I ordered these a week ago(not even THAT really) and I got them today. I've got BOTH these kits in Original plastic, and when I compared the two, they are EXACT repops of their master castings! The resin is REAL nice and smooth, with NO airbubbles OR flash!They're darn near PERFECT!!! You get, The perfectly cast bodies (or body,if you only order one) An interior bucket, also bubble and pin hole free, the seats, dash and unplated "chrome" parts. Bumpers and grille for the Falcon,Front and Rear bumpers and Grille and the rear taillight valance for the Cutlass, ALL the parts needed for the body are cast in the same slightly pale yellow resin, so plateing or Alclading will be nessecary. The tailights are cast in the same resin as the body, so they will have to be painted,or just made up from red plastic,that I'm SURE we all have extra of in our stash boxes. There is no glass or chassis incluned, but I'm going to use the 67 Mustang chassis for the Falcon, and the 65 GTO chassis for the Cutlass. Other than the parts from those donor kits,these things just fall together just like the originals did! And the price is VERY reasonable!, only 45 bucks. Have you priced an ORIGINAL kit of EITHER of these models lately? EASY over a hundred bucks! The quality of the workmanship is RIGHT on the money! I hope Eric adds MORE to his line-up, as I am SO impressed with his work, I wouldn't hesitate to order ANYTHING else from him. This guys work is equal with ALOT of guys who have been at it ALOT longer! That, and his FAST shipping make ordering from him a no-brainer! I just wanted you guys to know that now we have ANOTHER TOPNOTCH caster in our midst who practices what he preaches!!! EXCELLENT quality, FAST shipping, REASONABLE prices and GREAT service! You guys don't NEED to take my word for it, just ORDER something and see for yourself!!! THANKS Eric, you definately got you a SATISFIED customer in ME!!!

Eshaver Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Porky , if I didn't know better it certainly looks like you were able to find an origional A M T kit to do the pieces from . Ed Shaver
Porky Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Porky , if I didn't know better it certainly looks like you were able to find an origional A M T kit to do the pieces from . Ed Shaver Hey Ed, Your are right my friend, they are both direct copies from the annual issue AMT 3 in 1 kits. I was hatched out in 64' so I thought it would be cool to have all the 64' annual issue kits. The Hardtop Olds was the last one I needed to have all they made that year, so now the collection is complete. I plan to do the 64' Chevelle wagon, 64' ElCamino, 64' Buick Wildcat hardtop, 64' Bonneville hardtop and maybe the Gran Prix & the GTO, I know the GTO has been repoped to death, but none are as close to correct as the 64" annual issue.

Hey Hey brother George, I was just pokin' at ya a bit on the camera thing. You need to learn how to drive it so we can all take a look at some of those kits you are building.
disabled modeler Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Hi Eric.......that 64 cutlas is really nice !!!!!! its really cool that you have considered the stock version.......sweet ! all of the build-ups i have ever found of this were trashed and cut up.........the falcon is getting a little closer everyday ............if anyone wants to know the quality of your castings there good, mine was really nice !!!!!!!! there you go testimony to craftsmanship right here....thanks Eric !
