68shortfleet Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I recently received this resin chassis with a 50 Austin coupe. It was in a bag labeled 50 Austin. Can anybody identify who made it? So far I haven't turned any info up using Google. I'm sure I just haven't found the right search term. Also, what kits parts was it designed to use? I suspect it uses Revell 41 Willy's street rod parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Without lookin' at my kits, it does kinda look like that chassis came with the Revell '41 Willys Street Rod kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcaps55 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That is a copy of the Revell 41 Willys street rod and it looks like the one I got almost 15 years ago from Perry Resin from Canada it was to lower the stand on the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcaps55 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That is from Parry's Resin I just dug mine out I have not used it yet but be very carful if you try to go to his web page I went to it about 6 months ago just to see if he was still making resin parts and the site has been hacked I was lucky my system got it be for it got to far.!!

68shortfleet Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thank you Rick. Now I can try a we search about it. Thanks for the heads up on his website. Maybe he can be found on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eh? Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Jason, Perry's Resin was Randy Frost's resin company. You will find lots of postings about it. Randy is now the proprietor of Dailey Hobbies in Whitby, ON https://www.daileyhobbies.com/ I am sure he has Facebook presence. I saw Randy at the Group 25 Model Car contest, this past weekend. I am not sure as to how much time he dedicates to Perry's Resin at this point. He would probably be able to answer any questions related to this trans kit.

iBorg Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This I can say unequivocally, it's heads and heals better than the Revell original. It ALWAYS drove me crazy that this car was called a dragster with a round tube chassis. Gasser rules required either a stock chassis, until about 1966, or a rectangular fabricated chassis. A round tube chassis would kick it into the altered class. I'd gladly trade what you have for the Revell original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so happy to see that chassis when I opened this box. I immediately saw the opportunity to build a street rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Guess that hint didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
