If so I've been casting the hubcaps; let me know if you need a set. I absolutely do!!! I've been looking for a set of stock caps for this one for quite a while! One set came up on ebay about a month ago, but if I recall correctly, they sold for quite a tidy sum. I really wasn't planning on spending $20.00 or more on a set, so I've been just keeping my eyes open. So far, no luck. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere around here I made a thread about that car, and the kit version my dad built back in the 70s. So I'm doing my own build of our old car.

Tom Geiger Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 https://public.fotki.com/ModelCitizen/model_cars/1963-ford-pickup-kit/ For those of you that wanted to see the contents of a '63 Ford Pickup Kit. An Aussie friend of mine went on a buying spree back when their dollar was doing well. He'd have the kits shipped to me and I'd take photos and send them to him for verification. Every 6 kits, I'd fill one of those AMT 6 kit cases and ship it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 http:// Got my 56 DeSoto in today! I am very happy. Yes the body needs a bit of cleanup but I wasn't aware that it came with two sets of grilles and bumpers, 5 sets of taillights and three sets of door handles! Customizing parts for other builds. Now to figure out an interior bucket that will work. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I may have a grille for that? Not sure if that is what it goes to but looks as though it may.

I'll bet that if you contact them, you might be able to wrestle an interior from them. The '55 & '56 appear to very close to one and other.

Seriously though, I will not be getting rid of the DeSoto. I've wanted this one for quite a while. Thanks for the interior shots and the info on Resin Realm. I'll be contacting them soon to see what it would take to get an interior and dash. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, my intention was to swap the complete '64 Lemans kit for the Desoto. But, I guess that I'll just have to settle for the '55 Desoto if I decide that I want one bad enough.
