mikemodeler Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Just saw this on Facebook, new stuff from the Olson Bros.!
Tom Geiger Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Very cool! Note that there are two different interior panels in the kits. The long sided one was only in the first issue, it was cut down for the half cab. I need one side to finish a model. I will ask if they'll sell me a pair! Edited May 24, 2019 by Tom Geiger

There are two panels there because one is for the left side and the other is for the right side. Yes, the originals were modified for the re-issue with the half cab.
Tom Geiger Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 OOPs! Corrected my post. When I first looked I thought the top one show was a short panel. Now I see it's just the other side of the long panel. Still I need them!
stavanzer Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Looks like the Olsen Bros get some of my Money, next month.

gui_tarzan Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Sorry guys, I haven't had a chance to update the website yet. Hopefully soon. There is also a 'vert top and the full wagon hard top coming, as well as a Jeepster-style snowplow.

gui_tarzan Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Those are going to be a while yet, Mike, probably a few weeks or so. The website is updated! www.resincastmodelparts.com Edited May 26, 2019 by gui_tarzan
stavanzer Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Well, I know where I'm spend my Birthday Money! Thanks, Jim. What is that transmission/ X-Fer case for? Jeep or Bronco?
gui_tarzan Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 I'm not sure what it was intended for, but I think you could adapt it to about any 4x4 application.
Mr. Metallic Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 It's great that these are available, but of course this is after i just spent the last couple years trying to find affordable restoration pieces for this body style (especially the full length roof). And now that I have all the parts I need, these builds are going to start popping up all over the place. Again, it's great that these are coming out. I may have to buy one myself. The other stuff i have purchased from them has all been excellent.

goldfinger Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 It would be nice if they just sold the front fenders and hood so you could retro the '72 version. I have converted a few and collected a few more I would like to convert also.

I have converted a few and collected a few more I would like to convert also. I would contact them and see if they would. They might have a body that the back end didn't come out of the mold and could sell you the front half. If you don't ask, you won't know! Mine showed up today but unfortunately I am not home for a few days to see it!
gui_tarzan Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) As promised, there are a couple more top option back-date kits available now! By the way, the link toward the top of the page should be https://www.resincastmodelparts.com without the /index2.html at the end. Edited July 20, 2019 by gui_tarzan
gui_tarzan Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 To answer a question asked earlier: Tops and any/all parts shown (in the eBay ad) are available individually - Just ask. Kits may also be ordered with specific parts omitted by request.
