Dave Wood Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know if the Revell 57 Ranchero kit came with a Bed Cover? if so does anyone have one they can spare? Thanks in advance for any help
Harry P. Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Seems like a bed cover would be a snap to make with a piece of sheet styrene...

sdrodder Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Dave, if you still need one drop me a PM with your addy and you got one. and he means what he says. George your a great guy. Just helping people and sometimes not asking for anything. If you ever need anything pm me and i can see what i can do. Well cant wait to see the ranchero with the bed cover.
Jairus Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 The reason for the bed cover was because Revell also sold that Ranchero with the option to put a motor in it. The bed cover concealed the motor... and I too have an extra if you need it. I turned my Ranchero into a station-wagon a bunch of years ago. A side note is that the Ranchero kit is incorrect because it was based on the 4 door station-wagon molds. As we all know... a 4-door car has shorter doors than a 2 door car. The real Ranchero was based on the 2-door Ranch Wagon. So, to be totally accurate, one would need to move the door lines back a bit along with moving the posts and lengthening the roof... A lot of work and something I have rarely seen.

Well now I've learned something new! I have that kit and have to take a second look at it! Glad you mentioned that Jairus as I would have been ticked off having built that only to find out the proportions are out of kilter!

Thanks in advance for any help The Reason I wanted the kits cover is i'm hopeing that its molded with a texture and snap heads, and I also need it to be removable. I usely make my bed covers out of thined vinyl like my latest Hollywood Knights Elky. Thanks Again George! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
