JPolli Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone make a 1938 Chevy 2 door sedan in resin? Thanks. Jim Polli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAT-T Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) I THINK RMR MAKE A '38 PICK UP, BUT NOT SURE ABOUT A SEDAN. Edited December 27, 2012 by RAT-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Maybe Modelhaus parts for the '38 conversion: http://www.rocketfin.com/resin_product.cfm?id=4612 Along with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1937-CHEVY-2-DOOR-1-24-1-25-RESIN-MODEL-/370723254862?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item5650d3f24e Or an AMT dirt track kit for the roof conversion?

Craig Irwin Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I bought an R&R 38 Chevy 4 door sedan a few years back with intentions of converting it into a 2 door. It's still in my someday pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPolli Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 How difficult would it be to convert the 4 door to a 2 door? How would you go about doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrucha Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 How difficult would it be to convert the 4 door to a 2 door? How would you go about doing this? I would just rescribe the door panels on the body and interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wouldn't there be some B-post mods? Moveing it farther back for a 2 dr. would be one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wouldn't there be some B-post mods? Moveing it farther back for a 2 dr. would be one. Yep! I dug it out to have a look-see, and I think it will be so easy I started cutting. The "B" post must be relocated back a bit, and the "C" post must be removed (the 4 doors are a 6 window car) Rescribe the doors and move the front door handles back while removing the rear ones..... Now, the interior. This is not R&R's best effort, and scratch building a better tub in the two door style looks to be the best idea. Star Models has pictures of this kit under resin / R&R .

JPolli Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Craig - Changing the RR resin from a 4 door to a 2 door sounds relatively easy. I have never done this before. Any further tips or pointers? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
