Greg Myers Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Greg, Both kits are nice but it is hard to objectively compare a kit engineered more than 50 years ago with one engineered a year ago. On that basis. the Monogram Slingster wins hands down - a much better engineered kit but it is like comparing a 19641/2 Mustang with a 2015 Mustang and asking which is better. The collector might prefer the 19641/2 Mustang and the car nut (like me) might prefer the 2015 Mustang. Again in terms of engineering. the 2015 is not comprised of cast off Falcon parts. Ya gotta get one of each
realgone58 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Man, what a gorgeous dragster. The little details make a ton of difference here! Love everything about this one!
Casey Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I got stiffed for about $50 on eBay in June of 2008. I must have sent a dozen e-mails over the past 6 years. I went to their website and it is still up. I forwarded the PayPal invoice to the parts I won on eBay in 2008 to the only Arrowhead e-mail address I had. I noticed that you were put into an unending loop if you click the Contact Us tab on their web site. Does anyone have a current e0-mail address for Arrowhead Aluminum? They know me well since I bought a ton of stuff from them and always used to stop and chat with them at shows so I was very disappointing when I got stiffed. They are actively selling on eBay again, so I would try contacting them through eBay. They have a new website address, too, and the e-mail address listed in the "Contacts" section is: swsecsvcs@peoplepc.com New 'site url: http://arrowheadaluminum.homestead.com/
Doctordarryl Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Excellent, Darryl! Were any mods necessary to use the Nailhead? It literally slipped right in. Some minor tweaking with location of the front motor mounts was all that was needed.

They have a new website address, too, and the e-mail address listed in the "Contacts" section is: swsecsvcs@peoplepc.com New 'site url: http://arrowheadaluminum.homestead.com/ I did contact them through eBay using the "Ask a Question" on one of their auctions. I do not expect to hear from them unfortunately. It is experiences like that (and I was not the only one stiffed by Duane and Susan) that turn people off to the cottage industry. I am really put off by the gaul of them stating on their web site that they would not sell on eBay until all back orders were fullfilled. I highly doubt that my eBay purchase was the only one they never fullfilled. If I do not hear from them in a week, I will bring it up to eBay even though it has been nearly 6 years. eBay may be able to exert pressure on them with the new seller rating system being implemented next month. I will also contact them through the new e-mail address as well by forwarding them the PayPal invoice for the items they never shipped.

The Contact Us tab on the web site does not give you an e-mail address, it puts you into an eendless loop.
rustybill1960 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Beautiful work on the rail kit Sorry to hear about the rip off/ put off Thank You for sharing Later Russ
Greg Cullinan Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Cool. I dig the concept too. Edited April 7, 2014 by Greg Cullinan
Doctordarryl Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Just received a package from Susan and Duane (Arrowhead Accessories) and they filled my old order from eBay, 6 years after the fact. I will remain a strong supporter of Susan and Duane since they have products that no one else has and I will remain a customer. I read about there troubles and I feel sorry for them but like the old saying, what does not kill you makes you stronger. They should be VERY strong. I would not wish their trials on anyone. Thank you Susan and Duane. Keep making excellent products.
