krassandbernie Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I haven't posted here in a while since coming out with the tuck'n roll interior for the Revell '50 Olds coupe kit a while back. I wanted to give you guys an update on what I've been working on lately. I just came out with a tuck'n roll interior for the Revell '57 Ford and '57 Chevy kits. Each interior comes with separate arm rests, window cranks, and door handles....although not seen in these photos. You can drop me a line at lowcab36@epix.net for the Fotki links to view more photos of each of these interiors; or answer any questions you might have. Thanks! Ed Drag City Casting
Tom Geiger Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Those all are so clean that they look like kit parts! Great work Ed!
krassandbernie Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks Tom! The only part of the original (kit) door panels that I used was the trim piece at the top for each interior. The rest of the door panels are completely scratch built. To give you an idea of how many pieces are involved...........the small '40 Ford coupe door panels I am working on for a personal project will be made up of 38 pieces (counting window cranks and door handles......no arm rests) by the time I am done......and that is just one side. The front and rear seats for the Chevy interior had to be cut apart; and the front seat needed lots of work to make the pleats line up.....had to straighten out the sides of the seat back before I could do anything else. It's almost more time consuming then it's worth! LOL!
my80malibu Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Hey there Ed. I got my interior parts in the mail tonite. They are spectacular, thanks for the fast shipping. Take care Gabriel
krassandbernie Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) For all the accolades on these new interiors there seems to be very little interest in them. At least in actually ordering them anyway. I didn't quite expect either of these interiors to move as well as the '50 Olds interior did; but did not think they'd be total duds. Unless something changes I honestly do not see myself coming out with any other interiors at this point. I have anywhere from 17-23 days straight into making each interior.......and that is all I am working on during this time...one interior at a time.....no time is being spent in the shop when I am doing master work or whatever I am working on ends up not finished in a timely manner. I kind of wish I didn't just spend another $80.00 in Evergreen! LOL! Anyway, if anyone is interested yet I have 4 or 5 of each of these currently cast up..........so no waiting period! To those of you who already ordered one of them I thank you for your support! Maybe I'll actually see one of them being put to use someday! Ed Edited March 19, 2014 by krassandbernie
rairoresins Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Howdy Ed, I know a lot of folks aren't too crazy about "Evilbay" but you might try selling your stuff there. I've been making a killing with my resin Military stuff there for the last couple years. Etsy is another place similar to Ebay.
crazyjim Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 What's your website and how much is the '57 Chevy interior?
Ramfins59 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Ed, will you be at NNL East..?? If so I might pick up some of this stuff there.
krassandbernie Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Jim, shoot me an e-mail and I can get back to you easier/faster. I don't log in here every day. Richard, I am sorry to say it doesn't look like we'll be able to make it to the NNL East this spring. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to order any of these interiors while the molds are still 'young'. I am probably not going to be making new molds of this stuff once they've run their course...........unless sales were exceptional; which hasn't been the case. btw, I use to sell on eBay until sales dropped off way too much..........and it started costing me money to keep a store open. Same deal with my web site; which is no longer up due to the cost. I have my stuff posted up on Fotki for the time being. Ed
JTalmage Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I wish I was building these right now so I could buy them... I totally would.
Ron Hamilton Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Those parts are nice, and a great time saver.
krassandbernie Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Due to the lack of interest in the custom tuck'n roll interiors I have been offering I have decided not to waste my time mastering any more unless it is for a specific project. I will not be remolding either of these after the molds are used up. I am willing to drop the price down to $20.00 (each)... (plus shipping) on BOTH interiors if you get your order in soon. Both interiors come with door handles, window cranks, and arm rests. Thanks!

snacktruck67 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 if you have any left I am willing to pay anything.
Mike Chernecki Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 This is bad news. These interiors are amazing. Everyone complains when they can't buy a quality product, yet when one like this has been available for the last couple years.. nobody shows support. I hope Ed reconsiders in the future.
futurattraction Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Looks super, Ed...! I totally agree with Mike.
JTalmage Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Id definitely buy one for the 50 olds... but I just dont need it right now. Sucks to see theyre not being casted now.
krassandbernie Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 I am sorry to say that the '50 Olds interior has been off-line for over a year now....maybe two; and I just sold the last two I had from my personal 'stash'! LOL!
Greg Pugh Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Just wanted to say that Ed's castings are hands-down some of the best I've seen. I've purchased several pieces from him over the last couple of years and have always been nothing but blown away by his quality and professionalism. In fact, I have him working on a special project for me as I type this. A++ for sure!
Sledsel Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Eds work is great, I have a stash of his stuff. I really like that 57 Ford interior, but do not plan to build more of them.
Ramfins59 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I also got Ed's interior for the '57 Ford and was extremely happy with it for the mild custom I built. I highly recommend Ed'd products. The steering wheel cover pictured is a resin piece from Norm Veber.
Muncie Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) second those opinions - great guy to deal with and excellent partsmore here on Ed's Drastic Plastic Fotki site - http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/member_dealer_directory/drag-city-casting-/use the email address in the first post to contact him.

krassandbernie Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks for the kind words guys! At this point I have around 5 or 6 of each interior left in stock; and I do not think that the molds will hold out for too much longer. They are decent right now; but I wanted to give anyone who might still be on the fence a heads up in case they wait too long. I will probably cast a few more up and see where things stand. I made the molds back in 2014 so I can't complain.
