Greetings everyone,
Many of you knew me when I was the "R" in RNK Conversions,
Well after much work & change in life I have returned to casting model truck & trailer parts. I am working on a new line of general stocking parts with a focus on logging. A web site is in the works and will have on line ordering.
Starting now i am providing a custom casting service. this open to all truck modelers, in any scale. Each part or group of parts will be quoted based on minimum quantity of 10 castings.
Please email me directly at ap40rocktruck@gmail.com
As before i will ship globally in support of all customers.
Thank you & Kind Regards
Ap40rocktruck

So is the web site up yet? Actually the web site has been up since mid 2012. Sadly though, due to a dismal failure in 2013 and the 1st 1/2 of 2014 even worse, we have decided to close up shop. Not going to go into details, but it just never was meant to be. Ap40 |

I know I was very pleased and happy with all the things I got from you before I left for the Philippines. I hope you stay with the Forum and continue to build your awesome models. Be Well Gator |

Rick, It saddens me knowing that things haven't worked out. I understand more than I did about this business (as you well know) and have often wondered if I've made the right decision. Startup costs these days are crazy and keeping products moving can be as bad.
Best wishes for you with whatever you choose to do next.
Jerry

Thanks Guys,
Jerry, I did not have much in start up costs as i kept all the old RNK equipment & tooling. The problem i keep hitting is trying to compete with the dirt cheap 3D printing of limited run parts & printed patterns super cheap cost and fast v/s us old guys who still make everything by hand...
AARRRRGGG
