Bowtienutz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Revell olds is an interesting kit with lots of appeal but it just doesn't light my pants on fire. Anything out there in resin land , fastback,sedan delivery woody. Maybe a Chevy or Pontiac conversion. I like to build a street rod so stock wheels and engine aren,t a necessity. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Bandit Resins offers a curbside '50 Pontiac coupe(?), too, but it could probably be modified to work with the new '50 Olds. http://www.banditresins.com/1950_pontiac.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Tom C has the fastbacks cast and shipped. I saw photos on another site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Bandit Resins offers a curbside '50 Pontiac coupe(?), too, but it could probably be modified to work with the new '50 Olds. http://www.banditresins.com/1950_pontiac.html The Olds has a published 119-1/2" wheelbase; the Pontiac is published at 120". I'd say that works pretty well. Once the wheels are on, the only way you could tell the wheelbase is half an inch different in 1/25 will require a digital micrometer, and it had better have plenty of decimal places. Add a Kitchen Table Pontiac straight eight, and you're road-ready. The only possibly complex item might be cobbling up the exhaust system, which could be done with solder or aluminum tubing. In 1/25: 120"=4.6875"; 119-1/2"=4.66796875" Like I said, no big deal. Charlie Larkin Edited January 31, 2013 by charlie8575 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
