Ian Cager runs this site, great guy, I've gotten lots of tricky to find stuff from him including photoetch carb linkage and pegasus wheels at extremely fair prices.

Cheers I haven't heard of that one and there Australian too.

Might sort these in 3 categories; Australian, place KV members have shopped and others

I have bought a lot of cheap out of stock kits from Steve, You have to email him if you see a kit that you want to see if he still has it in stock.

Is that a US site Al? I can imagine if it's just one item you're buying the shipping couls stack up quick? I really like the look of Jimmy Flinstone resin bodies, but the shipping is what always stops me getting them.

Ya mate its a USA site when your dollar was higher then the US dollar I could land two kits from there cheaper than buying here, But then all the post office places over the jump up the postage which hurt a bit, I had some of Jimmy Flintstones and see others bits of his, Its a bit hit and miss, My mate Ken bought a van body it was 1/4 in' thick was very heavy too. There is a lot of work to do with his stuff to get it right.

Always recommend these guys. Never had a problem. Cheap prices on the jap brands and always about 3 weeks delivery.
