Yeah, they have been wanting to sell for a while. Was told it was for sale. Didn't have that kind of cash.

I just wish their international shipping was a bit more reasonable.

If pricing like me, it is out of their control. USPS charges a huge amount for international shipping.

Yes, it’s not weight dependent it’s both weight and size dependent. When it gets to a certain size it might as well be 25 pounds. Really sucks for international shipping. The only way to buy international is a group buy to save on combined shipping.

Good to hear! I have a McAllister Ford Mustang body (unpainted) on a TC4 and like it very much.

Looks like I can say who got the sprint molds now. Roy updated his site with info. RAE has the sprint molds now from Mcallister.

Gary and Cathie are such wonderful people. I hope that the new owners of McAllister Racing will continue that legacy with the same passion.
Something clever goes here...
