The ting with RRR is the fact that they have many bodies('41 Lincoln,etc.) that are not available from JL or MM.
Ill be putting in a big order with RRR shortly as I want those Custom wheels, notably the Factories and the Bullets and Steel wheels (Although the Magnums are nice for the Mopars) Im going to throw a Set on a JL chassis and see how they are.
Plus they are good for Tjet std. chassis with xlerator/JL tuffone bodies as the make up a little fo the Space difference (I have the Factories wheels -Chevy Rally Caps- on my two xlerator Camaro's and a Set on a MEV 69 Chevelle, they look snazzy)If I get around to Ill post some pics...
As for the bodies.. maybe I got mine earlier when they were better quality or something, but If I could be a little better in assembling I probably wouldn't have problems asssembling them..I have a Torino that I got glue on the Windshiled on so I have to get another but the body is nice, even with the thin Windshield posts.
I also got a red Charger that I screwed up the paint on the roof with (I guess a little spic-n-span will fix that) but I got the stripes right (With Stickered stripes-stripe tape I picked up at a hobby store)
So aside from my flubs the bodies are pretty nice, and as long as no one else does Fairlanes or galaxies and they keep hitting obnoxious prices on e bay then RRR is a nice alternative to buying an expensive original, especially if you are going to run them around a track....Although from what Im hearing make sure you put foam blocks around the track or something...lol
But after reading other posts maybe I got mine when there wasn't a large demand cause it sounds like quality really dropped off, either way The guy does have Torino convertables and Falcon convertables now..Mostly I want to get the wheels and tires though :-) (plus he is still good for repro bumpers glass and the like)
