Any resin Cadillac Sombreros and La Salle grills?

[HotRodaSaurus]

Hi all, I am after a couple of bits for some customs. A La Salle grill, photo etch or resign to fit an AMT 36 roadster, and some Cadillac sombreros for same plus a Revell Mercury. I don't know but does the Revell custom Merc come with the sombreros?

Cheers, J

John, yes, the Revell chopped Custom Merc does come with Caddy Sombrero hubcaps.

Cheers fellas, I was going old school(or is that Skool) on the Merc. AMT with full fadeaways etc as on the Ayala/Baris Louis Betancourt car. Maybe the Revell model may offer better options with the top.

I have an old magazine someplace that shows how to chop the AMT, a bit like the real thing,  maybe an old Street Rodder magazine.

The 36 Ford I want to do Westergard style or maybe Rod and Customs never ending project rod.

Thanks again, J

John, Replicas & Miniatures Co of MD makes a '49 Merc resin convertible without the "dip" in the fender line (see the model I built of it)

If you contact Norm Veber   ( ReplMinCOMD@aol.com ) I'm sure he can hook you up with one of his kits.  You'll need one of the Revell Merc kits to finish it.
