This is a resin body from R&R Resin of a 1950 Plymouth 4-door. I know little of this company but they have many bodies available nowhere else I have seen. The service was prompt and courteous. I purchased this particular vehicle as my first car was a ’51 Plymouth Cranbrook and this was the first early Plymouth model I’ve ever come across. The kit consists of body, chassis with holes for metal axles, interior bucket and dashboard. The front and rear bumpers/grill are chrome plated. The castings do require cleanup but looked well proportioned and body was straight. Detail of head and taillights cast as part of the body was low. Chrome trim on body was well cast except for low resolution in parts of windshield trim. Body overall had virtually no pinholes and was very smooth. Resin was quite thick, though I see this as an advantage considering the front end mods I will need to do converting to a ’51.
As for my plans for this body, I will be converting it to the aforementioned 51 model. I attached a photo of my 51 .. a 40 plus year old photo! The front grill and surrounding body work and hood end is the major difference but look workable. Will need better headlights. Possibly from another early 50’s kit. Bumpers look easily modifiable with a little sanding to round out. I have a lot of projects on the table but will post in “workbench” once the bodywork starts. I’m new here, but have been modeling and hacking up cars since the late 50’s. The talent and camaraderie here has HOOKED me to this forum .. such a pleasure to be a part!
