I'd love to, but as I mentioned earlier, I do not have a casting of it; nor do I have the old molds or master. Here are some photos I had saved from someone else.......pretty sure it was built from my dad's resin kit; but it could have also been scratch built......don't know for sure.....I'll have to look through my cd's and see if I can find any of my dad's old photos of the kit spread out. As far as R&R goes, he might have very well cast a Kopper Kart in the '80's........never saw one from him that I can recall though. I'm sure my dad's was pretty spot on though.

Btw, my dad was never sued by Barris; but did make the mistake of contacting him! LOL! George wanted so much in royalties that my dad told him to take a hike.......which forever changed the way he thought of his childhood hero.

The Kopper Kart was cast by my late father........Ed Fluck Sr. He ran F&F Resin Casting. It must be somewhere around 10-12 years since he came out with it. I've been hoping to come across one of these castings for a while now since I don't have my dad's old molds for it; or the master; which might not of held up too well after all of these years; and the number of moves my parents made.

Thanks for the 'plug', but I run Drag City Casting, not Speed City Resin! LOL! I offer an L88 hood for the AMT '72 Nova and the Revell '69 Nova. I no longer offer the cowl hood for the AMT Nova though.............Ed

Doobie, I make a '40 Willys coupe in resin; and also make a correct '41 Willys pickup cab that is based on the new tooled Revell '41 Willys coupe kit (like the Big John Mazmanian Willys kit). The AMT Willys pickup and the Revell '41 Willys pickup cabs are way out of proportion; which is why I decided to master a correct '41 Willys pickup cab. To kind of explain just how far off (in one area) that the Revell Willys pickup cab is.............just the door from that kit is as long as my correct body from the front door line to the back of the cab. The AMT Willys pickup cab is also too long.........for starters; but there's no need to go into all of the inaccuracies of both kits. Anyway, if you are interested, I can set you up with one of my correct '41 Willys pickup cabs; and more then likely a 'junk' '40 Willys coupe body that you could cut the grille section out (clean cut) to graft into the pickup body. I don't offer the grille pieces at this time; but it looks like you don't mind a little scratch building! LOL! Drop me a line if you are interested.............or, if nothing else to answer any other questions you might have...Ed (Drag City Casting). lowcab36@epix.net

Matt, drop me a line (lowcab36@epix.net). I have some photos that might be of some interest to you........Ed

Looks great so far Matt! I was a bit disappointed after reading that you plan on stripping the body..........it would look killer just the way it is........'pulled out of the barn, swap in the Hemi, rear, etc......and go racing'.........just like in the movie "Hot Rod"! LOL! Can't wait to see more! Ed

I'm still here! LOL! The web site fees came due.......and kind of snuck up on me. So, hopefully I'll be able to get that paid and the site back up here real soon. In the meantime, you can either drop me a line direct or use my Fotki link to see my stuff. I tried posting the Fotki link; but for some reason it keeps coming up incomplete in this thread......so, e-mail me for the link I guess. Thanks! Ed

I forgot to mention that if you are going to build a '35/'36 Ford pickup you will need to start with Revell's '37 Ford pickup kit...........the cab is the same except for the v'd windshield. You will need to flatten out the windshield area; since the '35 and '36 Ford pickups had a flat windshield. I can not help you out with the correct hood sides; but you should be able modify the ones in the kits.

Cool project! I offer a 1/25th scale '36 Ford pickup grille in resin that would work out for what you are doing. Drop me a line if you want...Ed lowcab36@epix.net

Thanks for the kind words guys! Bob, for some reason the pics you took look all choppy! All the edges around the body have uneven lines....must be the way the photo loaded or something......had me wondering at first; because I knew I sent you a nicer body then that! LOL! Ed

Thanks for helping me out Florian! I just wanted to let everyone else know that I now have most of what I offer in resin up on the Drastic Plastic's Fotki site for those of you who are having problems viewing my web site. I'll be updating it with more stuff as time allows. You will find the link to the album below. Please pass the word and link on to anyone you hear has been having problems viewing my site. Thanks!

For those of you who are having problems viewing my web site (www.dragcitycasting.com) after updating to Internet Explorer 8, I am now in the process of listing the majority of my stuff on eModelCars.com. At least this way you can view my product here. I just came out with a handful of new hoods and parts, where were recently added to the web site. Also, feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions; or if you would like to place an order. I am currently running some specials on my web site which end on July 31st! Thanks, Ed lowcab36@epix.net
