Chuck Most Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Just got Kris Morgan's latest offering, a chopped-top body for the Revell '50 Olds. Casting quality is top notch- even the mold lines on the base Revell body were removed on the master. Maybe it's just me, but I hate it when I get a resin body which was based on a styrene master, and all the mold lines and sink marks are still there. You won't see that on this body! The chop looks nice- it looks just right on this car. Note that I've lowered the chassis on this example, and used Revell's replacement printed whitewall tires. The MAD body fits just as well as the stock Revell part- actually, the resin is a bit more pliable than the Revell plastic, making stretching the back of the body over the rear inner fenders just a bit easier. About all that you should need to do is cut the stock windows or make your own, other than that using this body should be no more effort than using the kit body. As you can see the kit hood fits just fine, and all the chrome trim I test-fit to the body fit just like it would with the Revell body.
DrKerry Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Man that looks sweet. Might have to check into one!!!!!!
goodguyinar416 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 That's awesome and those wheels look great on it...
Kris Morgan Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks Chuck. She does look nice on your lowered chassis. I kinda think she would make a nice gasser as well. I cannot take credit for the master work on this one, just the casting. The master was done by Ken McFeaters.
Len Geisler Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Awesome, just what I need more resin....LOL..... Anybody know the cost? I tried finding it on the website, and couldn't, maybe I overlooked something? Thanks
Kris Morgan Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Len, We have not had time to add it to the site yet. You can PM through here or, email me at amorgan615@yahoo.com For the price. Thanks for the interest.
Sully Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Another look at Kris Morgans chopped Olds. Going to build a tail dragger with mine. Thanks for the Olds Bro...........
Chuck Most Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 I'm just gonna go ahead and bump this, seeing as how Revell has just introduced a custom version of the kit.
