Anyone know what happened to them?

Guessing no one was buying there over priced resin products , good question , I am sure someone knows

I know Kenny Anderson (the owner) has had several medical problems over the last year or so. I think he's planning on re-starting production of at least some stuff.

I do know I'd like one of those LTD Landaus. For around $100 for a complete resin kit, including an engine, I wouldn't exactly call it overpriced.

Good to hear he may be back. Blue Oval had some really neat products, including the 1978 LTD. His website vanished a while back, and I understand that he is just a one man show. I'm grateful that people like him make the "odd stuff" I like.

I had bought some 1:1 parts for my '78 LTD (in my avatar) a few years back. Nice guy, very knowledgeable in FoMoCo stuff, more of a walking encyclopedia. When I was at his house I got to see his operation, indeed he is a one man show doing this on the side. I had seen only the grills for the Ford trucks and cabs, nice stuff. He was trying to figure out at the time how to buy RTV by bulk and how expensive it gets. Sadly I lost contact with him and have not talked/seen him since. The '78 LTD Landau was JUST being started by him, have yet to see one first hand.

I was thinking about the 91 LTD that the body is not very close to what it should look like, that's what I was calling overpriced, I am very sorry if I offended anyone

I take no offense. You expressed your opinion, I expressed mine.

I now see we're talking about two different products.

The big LTD, at least to my eye, looked to be pretty well-done, as I believe it was based off the AAR LTD, which means it had a very good start. I'll agree the 1988-91 Panther left something to be desired; that said, until someone does one in styrene, that's the only choice. It does need massaging to get right, but it's far more workable than trying to scratch or convert your own.

has anyone heard anything else about it he will be reopening or what happened to him. with the new firestone 78 ford coming out it would be nice to get some of the parts that he cast for them

I haven't see his ID in the yahoo groups I know he and I are both members of.

in the past few months.

Hope he is well.
