hjracing Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Hello! Anybody know if Ma's resing is styll selling those wonderfull offroad tires?
raildogg Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) I sent a message off to Ma's Resin for information I got from a web site about off road model tires yesterday, I got a reply this morning from Alan. This is a man who wants to do business, not unlike some others I know. It is satisfyingly refreshing to get a reply both timely and mature. Thanks to you Alan @ Ma's.

JunkPile Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 There are a few left. Customer service fading fast

Casey Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 How do i get on ma's resin site want to see the grand 73 am and gto tryed the price list doesnt show me anything want to see some pics before i decide to buy You'll have to e-mail him and ask for pics, as I think what he's posted on earlier pages in this topic is all he has to show for now. The best way to find out is to e-mail Alan directly and ask. His contact info is listed here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71864
Casey Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Hello! Anybody know if Ma's resing is styll selling those wonderfull offroad tires? I believe he is still selling them.
cnaind Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Yes, all of the off-road tires are still available Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'll am working on the Grand Am/GTO along with some modular wheels for Off-road tires(Thanks Jeff) & a Dodge Ram Cummins engine(finally!).
Casey Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 l am working on the Grand Am/GTO With this and the Missing Link '73 Chevelle, it's going to be a banner year for GM Colonnades in 1/25 scale. I'm really looking forward to the Grand Am, as I think it's the best looking Colonnade of the bunch.
george 53 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 AND Missing Link IS bringing out the FORMAL roof Cutlass too!( IF he hasn't already!) It IS gonna be a GOOD year for us modelers!!!
jeffs396 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Yes, all of the off-road tires are still available Thanks for all the kind words guys! I'll am working on the Grand Am/GTO along with some modular wheels for Off-road tires(Thanks Jeff) & a Dodge Ram Cummins engine(finally!). Glad to provide the basis for more GREAT Ma's resin items Alan I still have about six more wheel centers I have to send you...I'll get them in the mail! Looking forward to all of the new stuff, especially the Grand Am
Ben Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 I haven't heard anything about them in a while? I want to order some tires I found the website with pictures and order info and sent an email but have not heard back yet.
John Pol Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Me to I heard from him last month just waiting on new tires he is doing haven`t heard from him sence. John Pol
Prostreet Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Be patient, Alan will get back to you. I just ordered some tires from him.
george 53 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Cuzzin Al has a REAL job, so he can't really spend as much time with Ma's as he'd LIKE to, but YES he's STILL in business, an kicken 'em out. Give him a few, he'll get back to ya. He always does!
Tom Geiger Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Al travels on business a lot. And Ma's Resin isn't a 'business' in the same sense as Modelhaus or other large resin casters. Al pretty much got into casting for the engineering curiosity of seeing how he could perfect the process. He's done some interesting things with the molds, such as lathe produced metal sleeves to get better quality. He sells the tires pretty much at cost, and his equipment is only set up to do 3-4 tires at a time. And with the material he uses, it goes into the pressure pot overnight. So when someone orders 20 sets, it can set production back a bit. So if you're ordering stuff from Al, don't complain that he didn't ship it in a week. It's more like a friend who is doing you a favor casting some stuff for you. He's currently working on those neat complete kits, all cut on a 3D printer. I've seen the masters in person and it's totally awesome stuff. It's light years ahead of what anyone else is doing, and again it's because of the engineering curiosity that he's working on these. Heck, I'd rather see him suspend tire production and put his limited free time into these!
kalbert Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 I ordered a pair of tires from him a year or so ago. Took several months to get, but when they came they were very nice. I didn't hear from him during the wait but I didn't try contacting him either. Seems like he posted here recently about some new drag radials he was working on. Also, I believe he does this on the side and has a "real" day job, so its possible he's just too busy right now.
george 53 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 He's doin OK, just been busy as heck. He did reply to a queirie from me about the 73 Grand Am about a month ago. He's ok, just kinda swamped on the job. He'll be gettin things back up to normal in a bit. These new masters are bein a bit more to get ready, caz he wants them done RIGHT. Not to worry, he's still kickin 'em out! Takes ALOT ta get Cuzzin Al down!
Alan Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Alan is a stand up guy, and his products are top shelf and very much worth the wait .....Alan
freakshow12 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 He is doing some drag radials for me too. They will arrive when they arrive. I know what it's like to be busy. Lol
cnaind Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I'm here guys!!!! I've answered all the emails I've received so not sure why some would get returned?? 3 options to get me are: cnaind@ptd.net or idsaw57@ptd.net or call me at 610-573-9219. Be sure you use .net instead of .com on the email. I don't have time to get on the boards lately so please don't use PM or post if it's important. Yes, the real job has been very busy this year(which is a good thing) but I hope to have alot more time in the near future as I'm trying to sell off my company & "retire". I've been running my own company since 1988 & travel world-wide but even that gets old. Then I can cast most of the time instead of whenever there's time. I enjoy the challenge of mastering & casting and plan to keep it going as long as possible. Many thanks to all customers.........past, present & future
