absmiami Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Fr Dave B: I have found in my stash a pre painted vac form Iso. It looks reasonably good but I will need to review dimensions and see what I can do about the wheels prior to seeing if it will slush mould. If someone turns up with a resin kit offer them the slot. I'll keep this link informed of my progress. speaking of which: https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/first-drive-bizzarrini-5300-gt-cors cool fact: Bizzarini: born in '26, is still alive !

Dave B Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hi Andrew, my vacform body is not real good, apart from being 5mm too short and at least 5mm too shallow (both fixable) it appears the Sebring Iso, chassis #B0202 was the second of only three 7000 rivet cars, being the first 3 manufactured, and the vents, side windows and some body fixtures are substantially different. I'm going too clean the body up, take a resin slush mould and see what happens. Should anyone with a decent resin want #5 please give it to them. Dave B PS my plans are for the later body style but are better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absmiami Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 The plans appear to be from the old Model Cars Magazine series …. It will be a challenge - but its doable - easy for me to say ! Is the Lexan reasonably thick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 The old Model Cars plans are on the web, this one is better. The lexan isn't as thick as the Lola or nobbly Lister I back cast but I think it is useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absmiami Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Lister ? You’ve got my undivided attn: Would you like to post a photo of the Lister casting ? It wasn’t the Sayer modified series II - was it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Sorry but no Sebring programs. I do have a casting of a Lister Knobbly though that needs a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
