Sunshine Kits web page

Chuck Cover
 

Group,

I have tried several times to connect to the Sunshine kits web page but I am directed to a page that says "This Account has been suspended".    I emailed the hosting provider per the page link, but have not heard back yet.

I reference the site often researching kits and prototype information.  Has anyone else had this experience?

Thanks

Chuck,

Yes, I’m receiving the same response. I, too, us the site regularly. I’m curious to hear what response you get.

Me too, and I was on it late last week.

I bid on a lot of Sunshine kits, so this is my go-to site to see if any particular kit is worth it.

I know the site was developed and run by Jim Hayes, but I don't have anything beyond that.

If I recall, Jim’s daughter helped him put the site together, Jim was not the techie behind the website. If it is not available it is mostly likely because the domain host has not been paid or renewed. Jim may not be aware. Give him some time to be notified and rectify the problem.

The Sunshine Kits website is gone at this time. Jim did not renew the website contract.

 

I’ve been working with Jim to move things to the Resin Car Works site and add more. But there have been delays. I saved the source HTML for each page and have all the PDF files. We will post an announcement on the RCW blog when it’s ready to use again.

   Thanks for taking this on, Eric. The Sunshine information is very valuable.

Eric,

 

Thanks for pursuing this.  I know many of us use this web site frequently as a reference and not having it would leave a big void.

That is great news Eric. I am sure this is a somewhat tedious project but one that will be greatly appreciated

….and definitely thank you to Jim Hayes for the effort to put this up and keep it going this long!!!  I cant tell you how many times I've gone there.

I think the page belonged to Jim Hayes. I have not heard from him in a while.

The Sunshine Kits website has been renewed for another month.


I'm working with Jim to transfer the domain to Resin Car Works ownership. I'll share more details as this develops.
