OOP Associated and Parma bodies
Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2021 1:47 pm
I have been buying up some of the new rereleased bodies from Sabula Tech (which are good, BTW) and I have tracked down quite a few other bodies I have wanted through various sources like RJ Speed, Mr Lexan and Wind Tunnel Racing. It made me curious as to the whereabouts of other molds from the likes of Associated and Parma.
I know Bob Stormer got Parma to reproduce the 1/12 scale Osella and Schkee bodies (and maybe others) a few years back—I bought a stack of them. Did Associated sell their molds for their 1/12 scale bodies? It's not like they’ll ever be back in that business again. Can you call them up and place an order for a minimum number?
Did someone manufacture the bodies for Associated or were they made in house? Parma has a few bodies I would like to see reproduced. I know the cost of doing this may be too much to justify a production run. Just wondering if anyone out there knows where these molds wound up or are they just sitting somewhere getting dusty.
