I did a google search and I came up empty. Searching this forum I found one thread with a single small photo: coffincorner.proboards89.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1566If anybody here has some photos of the Outhouse please let me know. Why is it so difficult to find any of the Bob Reisner's rods on the Web? Weird! I was also looking for photos of the Bathtub and I also couldn't find any. Tim Nolan said that he had some photos but he never came through. If nobody here can help me I'll have to resort to asking for help on the old Hobby Heaven forum. Eeeeeewwwwwww! ;D Help! |

Very old rods maybe. The Bathtub Rod has been on ebay over the years, getting more and more scruffy/ratty. Bob Reisner didn't build them, (Especially Milk Truck) He may have owned them, or the rights to the models possibly. The Doyusha version a Japanese repop of old Eldon kits. Col.  |

The shortage of the Reisner kits can be attributed to the original manufacturer. Eldon was in direct competition with AMT, Monogram, MPC and Revell in the middle 60's. While there was nothing wrong with the design or the parts fit of these kits The name Eldon never caught on.

Thanks guys but I already have both kits.
As the subject of my original posts states, I'm looking for *PHOTOS* of the real cars, not model kits. I would like to see how the real rods were built so I can build more accurate models.
This is the 2nd time I posted a direct question on this forum and the replies received weren't very helpful. Is it me? I thought that my question was clear and direct. But if it is something I'm wording incorrectly - let me know. I'm willing to adapt ...
Anybody?

I think the Bath Tub is being restored. I posted pics a few years ago. Who knows if he finished it.

See the Jay Ohrberg site www.jayohrberg.com/Jays Krazy Kars especially. He owned many of them, and pictures available there. He may not own them now, a few are over here in UK now, Snakepit/Sidewinder/Alvins Acorn. I really hate the dice car, seems to be a converted Raiders Coach. Col.  |

When I saw Mr. Barris last year, he told me that the Raiders Coach was alive and well in front of a resturant somewhere in CA.
I wish i could help you out on the pictures.
