'49 Cadillac by J&J Resin

[avidinha]

I just got my '49 Caddy from J&J Resin. It's a transkit for the Foose Caddy. When I heard they were going to make a stock body for the Foose kit I was excited and now that I have it, my excitement was well founded. It's a clean casting with a few pin holes and normal clean up that you'd expect from any resin kit. It comes with the body, hood, front and rear bumpers, grill and tail lights. I have yet to test fit it with the Foose kit. Here's a link to their Facebook page.

Just ordered one . . . $46.00 including shipping .  If you don't do Facebook (I don't) you can still use the link above and scroll down to the "order link" , worked fine .

Just out of curiosity, I have to ask.

Does a stock body for the Foose kit do any good when there is little else in the Revell kit that's stock?

Okay.

So I guess stock is still out of the question then, even with a stock body.

Just wondering.

You can build it however you want, that's the fun of modeling.

With research and acess to parts you could build this or any kit Stock . I have a WIP Henry J to stock form . The Upholstery (underwater ocean cable cover) is one of my Stumbling Blocks .. Thanx ..

Access to parts is the issue, which was my point.

Unless you have the skills to completely scratch build a stock interior and chassis, the stock body is only part of the puzzle.

You stock builders may want to look to Replicas And Miniatures of Maryland for his stock door handles package. I don't see any in these images. The real cars were IMHO really beautiful cars.
