You might want to contact Bill J. on the 2000 G-Force. Not to long ago he was doing a nice copy of Etzel's G-Force at a much lower price than trying to get one of Etzel's on Ebay. You might have better luck grabbing one of the copies. Someone may even have one Bill J.'s for sale.

Hey Mike, just keep looking! We all have a list of "holy grail" kits from Etzel, Lance Sellers, Gary Doucette and others we wish we had bought when available! I just picked up an OOP Sellers kit on e-Bay for what I considered a "decent" price (not)!

Yeah, the Eagle! I still lack a couple of Lance's kits, and I sure would like another '71 McLaren, but I've got enough resin kits to keep me busy for years, to say nothing of all the plastic. Wish I could have helped you out!

Not directed directly to you, Jim,

But, has anyone had any luck lately getting stuff from Bill j.? I am aware of his loss a few months ago, and truly offered my condolences. He's always nice in correspondence, but I paid for three kits through ebay a long time ago, and have not received them............. and he is still selling the same kits on ebay.

i've had to wash my hands of the guy as i found it too frustrating to deal with him. over the past three or four years i've accumulated almost 25 of his kits off of ebay.
his mo seems to be that he starts you off by getting your kits to you in a timely manner but as time goes on it takes longer and longer to recieve anything. then when you do get a box from him you never know what it'll be but you can count on it not being complete.
i was hoping the last order i received from him in march, a watson roadster that i won last june, would have the last of the missing parts included with it but all i recieved was two missing rear wheels from a foyt coyote and a watson that was missing parts as well.
i've talked to plenty of others including one guy who 3 years ago ordered about $500.00 worth of resin from him but what little of it that has shown up most of it is of poor quality.
for most of these people, it's a no win situation as if you call him out on it you'll never see your product. ebay is no help as you've waited too long to file a complaint and it's too late to leave negative feedback so you can at least warn others about him.
i know by writing this that i've burned the bridge. it's a shame as there are other kits that he's produced that i'd still like to buy but now that just won't happen.
i'm sorry if i'm out of line by writing this on our board but as a man that is in his 25th year of business, i've always felt the obligation to give the customer what they've paid for in a timely and professional manner. as i like to say about my profession, if you can't stand the heat don't build kitchens.
